Messages From The Scriptorium

The Scriptorium of a Monastery is the room where the writing is done; in days of old one might hear the scratching of a quill on parchment, while today one more often hears the clicking of a computer keyboard, but the work continues whatever the medium. From the Scriptorium is a publication of Mother of the Good Shepherd Monastery used to communicate with local friends and visitors to the Monastery's chapel. The spiritual messages at the end of each issue are now being reproduced here for those who visit our web site.  We hope and pray that these meditations will be helpful to you as you seek to draw closer to the Lord.
