Apostolic Farming: Healing the Earth
Last fall, we took a scenic drive to Madonna House to meet the people at St. Benedict Acres... We were warmly greeted, and invited to have a big lunch. After lunch there was a short spiritual reading and then the men dispersed back to work in the field... We were touched by a deep peace of God's love with this community. We were impressed how this community village is also quite self-sufficient. The tour was very enjoyable... the warmth shared from the people was very easy to sense and the cross on the peak of the hill gave me a peaceful feeling of how we can work the land in harmony. --Ruth Freeman, The Draft Horse Connection
