What comes to your mind when you see a monastery?

Here is a thought of Pope Benedict XVI...

As a spiritual oasis, a monastery reminds today’s world of the most important, and indeed, in the end, the only decisive thing: that there is an ultimate reason why life is worth living: God and his unfathomable love.

May we all come to know His unfathomable Love!

Blessings on Saint Valentine's Day!
