green's casket.jpgA beautiful of gesture of charity and hope was given to us as a witness of gospel virtue by the monks of a Trappist monastery in Iowa this week when they gave the Green family the casket in which to bury 9 year old Christina, a victim of the shootings last week. The CNN story is here.

Special thanks to Dom Brendan and the monks of New Melleray Abbey!

These monks are wonderful. We live just 15 miles or so from them. Its neat that this made the news in all the other things that have been featured with the shootings.

Thanks for your posts. I enjoy following.
