From Kathmandu to the Benedictines, A Young Monk's Tale

From Kathmandu to the Benedictines, A Young Monk's Tale and Discussion Of "Just for Today" Daily Meditations from Saint Therese of Lisieux and The Imitation of Christ!

The transformative journey that would lead Dom David Watters, a son of missionaries living in Kathmandu, to the serene life of a Benedictine Monk of Perpetual Adoration.

Dom David Waters joins us from the emerald hills of Ireland to share his remarkable path from the vibrant streets of Kathmandu to the sacred silence of a monastery. His tale is an invitation to explore the enchanting liturgy that called to him, the Benedictine discipline of interweaving labor with prayer, and the power of adoration that continues to mold his spiritual journey.

We also discuss the New Edition of "Just For Today." Short Daily Meditations from Saint Therese of Lisieux matched with entries from one of her favorite books, The Imitation of Christ.
