Dom John Baptist Chinh, a Vietnamese novice of my community professed his SIMPLE Vows last February 2nd. It is always our delight to receive new brothers in our community as it is a blessing for both the monk professed and the good of the whole community. But he will hurdle three years of being in SIMPLE vows before he gets professed with his PERPETUAL vows. To my confrere Dom John Baptist: "Congratulations and persevere!"
Photos were sent to me by dom John Baptist. (thanks to you my friend and confrere).

"Do not grant newcomers to the monastic life an easy entry, but, as the Apostle says, Test the spirits to see if they are from God (1 John 4:1)".
