Canons on the Run St. Norbert Abbey

Norbertine life has a cloistered aspect, and even a time for hermitage. But a hermitage period and a period of quarantine, like we have all been experiencing in various ways these past months, are two very different things. Listen as our podcast co-hosts reflect on their hermitage experiences, staying at home, and finding God amidst these difficult times.

During a time when we are so physically separated from one another, community is more important than ever. Even in religious life, there is a new dynamic to the current situation we all find ourselves in. But the reality for us all still remains: God made us for community.

Sometimes in life, whether it’s a new school year or tackling a large project, we just need to start. Other times there’s a need to do a little planning before diving-in. In either case, we are called to cooperate with God, but we can’t begin to do that until we act. So what is all of this really about? If we’re being honest, it boils down to trusting God. Even amidst struggle, uncertainty, and challenges, we must turn again and again to God. | More "Canons on the Run": www.norbertines.org/podcast

In this final installment of the “Only for Today” series, our co-hosts grapple with a short yet challenging statement: Only for today, I will have no fears. What is that we are afraid of? Is it a fear of things going wrong, or is it a fear to enjoy what is beautiful, to believe in goodness? As strange as it may sound, the latter may actually be what we are all afraid of in some way. | More "Canons on the Run": www.norbertines.org/podcast

Former St. Norbert College President Thomas Kunkel wrote a recently-published, compelling biography on St. Norbert titled Man on Fire. Capturing the life of this profound yet often over-looked saint was no small task. Our podcast co-hosts had the exciting opportunity to be a part of an interview with the author to discuss the writing process, and of course to talk about St. Norbert himself. | More "Canons on the Run": www.norbertines.org/podcast

Sometimes we are so caught up in thinking about faith that we don’t realize how little attention we are giving to our heart in feeling our faith. We may even lose sight of accepting the profound love that God pours over us each and every day. It is when we remember to feel that love that we begin to fully participate in our relationship with God. | More "Canons on the Run": www.norbertines.org/podcast
