O.C.S.O. GC – 2014 Assisi
At fixed times all the abbots/abbesses come together. They discuss there the salvation of their own souls and of those committed to them. They take measures regarding the observance of the Holy Rule and of the Order where there is something that needs to be corrected or added. They foster anew among themselves the benefit of peace and charity. They devote themselves to maintaining the patrimony of the Order and safeguarding and increasing its unity. (C.77)

Dear Father Abbot Mark and Father Donald,
WHAT A GREAT JOY it is for me to receive your emails, Thank you: Fr Mark telling of his preparation and departure for Assisi, and Fr Donald giving me insight of the Chapter's considerations - a very fine 94 page document - enlightening me as to the tremendous organisation and INTEGRITY at the heart of the Order - I am quite in AWE at its presentation! And I am so thrilled that you have, through your kindness, invited me to share in these events. Reading the main document, I am quite sure that all that Fr Mark has achieved and has set in motion, will essentially receive nothing but acclaim in the relevant Commission, and that many present will wonder at the courage-in-faith that has achieved so much! .....

....the Cistercian contemplative life that I discovered, witnessed and [through your kindness] have shared in at Nunraw, that holds the Key to the lived life in Christ entrusted to Peter. I often think that MARY MAGELENE should be the patron saint of the Order, always listening to the Incarnate Word and living entirely within His love, with the entire Order living at His feet.
You give me, so generously, so much happiness - thank you, most sincerely.
With my love in Our Lord,
William
