Over at Open Book, Amy has a quick post on visiting the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, Georgia, just outside Atlanta. (Or, as they like to say this time of year, “Hot-lanta.”)

I love that monastery, and the Trappists who live and pray there, and the glorious chants. I love the peace of the place, and the geese, and the abbey church that no less a figure than Flannery O’Connor once described as “incredible.”

I’m pleased to see Amy giving the monastery a plug (especially the day before the feast of St. Benedict … more on that tomorrow!).

If you’re in the nabe, stop by and say hello for me!
