HUMILITYANDLOVE the first profession of br. florian rumpza
At what point did you know you were called to become a monk? I was outside the Adoration chapel browsing through Facebook on my phone and there was a photo of a monk in my news feed, this older guy in a habit with a great big beard, and I felt something in my heart yearn for that. I thought, “that’s an unusual desire for a 19-year-old guy to have,” but it made me consider religious life. I shared this with my brother, an alum of Benedictine College, and he told me, “You’ve got to check out St. Benedict’s Abbey, because those monks are pretty cool.” After my first retreat back in 2016, I really felt called here.
