Voices and Reflections
The Novitiate is not merely a program - it is an encounter. These are the words of those who have lived it, words born from silence, shaped by prayer, and offered with reverence.
"[The novitiate] taught me that silence is not the absence of God - it is where He speaks most clearly. My greatest struggle became my greatest gift."

"Every morning in the Novitiate began before the sun. We rose, we prayed, we sat in that holy stillness before the Tabernacle. I began to understand that I was not here to do great things - I was here to let God do great things through me."

"Community life showed me that holiness is not a solo project. I have learned more about God from my brothers' kindness - and even their imperfections - than from any book."
