Br. Anthony

Rest In Peace
Our Brother Anthony Barabe died serenely at the hospital Tuesday, June 8th, with two of our monks present. He was 89. He made his monastic profession at New Camaldoli in 1968, and lived out the remaining years happily at the hermitage; he spent the last decade as a recluse. He was of a very cheerful spirit, a man of deep prayer, thankful for his contemplative vocation and daily rejoicing in his beloved Christ. Please pray for him as he is praying for us.
