\nTalafous OSB, in one of his Daily Reflections<\/span><\/a>, speaks about how
\ndifficult it is to comprehend the enormity of the multiple disasters that have
\nbefallen the people of Japan. Communications are still sparse from the
\nafflicted Diocese of Sendai<\/span><\/a>, with 11,000 Catholics, that
\nincludes the areas hardest-hit in the disaster. Several monks of Trinity Benedictine
\nMonastery<\/span><\/a>, Fujimi, Japan, shared reports with the monks of Saint John’s
\nAbbey<\/span><\/a>, the founding community. The
\nreports<\/span><\/a> mention little damage at Fujimi, some disruption at the
\nTrappistine monastery, Nasu, Tochigi Prefecture, and the death of a
\nRedemptorist priest whose car was swept away.
