Cistercian Hosts Feed My Starving Children

March 8, 2019 | Media

On March 1-2, over 440 volunteers from the Cistercian school community – students, faculty, staff, alumni and families – gathered for two special meal-packing events in our own gym with the Christian non-profit Feed My Starving Children. Together we packed 102,384 meals for children throughout the world (474 boxes). These two events follow the service performed by Forms V, VI and VII with Feed My Starving Children at their Richardson location on Martin Luther King Jr. Day (1/21), where 191 boxes were packed. Volunteers of all ages, young and old, worked together packing, labeling, boxing and shuffling items around the gym in a fun, upbeat atmosphere filled with excitement and music. It was wonderful to see so many different members of the Cistercian community serving together!

Thy Kingdom Come

The more I reflect on the petitions of the Our Father, the more I’m convinced that I have no idea what I’m praying when I mumble those words multiple times every day.

The current object of my loving mystification is “Thy kingdom come.” In an effort to be slightly less intimidated by this vast and marvelous petition, I will arrange my musings as responses to the time-honored journalistic questions.
