In early June, we went to our Annual Chapter (A.G.M.) at Holy Cross Monastery in upstate New York along with OHC members from the USA and African. We prayed and spent time together; discussed our life together; and participated in a conference with theologian James Alison titled "Jesus as Sacrificial Victim". We also cruised up the Hudson River Valley! L- R: Br. Adrian, Br. David (Prior), and Suzette Cayless, Companion of the Order of the Holy Cross, wait to board "The Rip Van Winkle".

Our Brother Christian Swayne has celebrated 60 years as a Priest. He was honoured by The Rt. Rev.

Christian renewed his vows alongside assembled diocesan clergy, including those also honoured for milestones of service. Here is Br. Christian (third from left) with Bishop Asbil, members of the Toronto Priory, and his sister, Patricia Brown, a Companion of the Order of the Holy Cross.

The Rev. Lucy Reid, St. Aidan's Church, Toronto, spoke at the recent Lenten Quiet Day co-sponsored by Holy Cross Priory, St. John's West Toronto, and St. Martin-in-the-Fields. Here is Lucy's own summary:

"The breath prayer is the most simple and effective way I know of quietening the chattering mind or turbulent emotions, and settling into the quiet, spacious presence of God. By focusing first on the physical sensation of the breath entering and leaving, and then silently repeating a very simple one-line prayer to the rhythm of the breathing (such as "Creator [inhale] guide me [exhale]," "Christ have mercy," "Spirit of love"), you can anchor yourself in prayer any time, anywhere. Our breath is constantly flowing in and out, until we die. So the breath prayer can become more and more part of our daily life, as we inhale the breath/spirit/wind of God and exhale into trust."

For many years The Order of the Holy Cross has honoured as Companions of the Order women and men who have offered exemplary service in support of the Order. Currently there are six Companions, one of whom is Suzette Cayless. We are delighted that she is increasingly a welcome guest at our Priory in Toronto and grateful for the support she offers while here. Thank you, Suzette.
