SOMOS DE LA VID
-
Somos de la Vid. We are of the Vine.
I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in Me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without Me you can do nothing.
John 15:5 (NAB)In the spirit of John 15:5, we seek to connect with people in faith, hope, and love, to share the charism of the Norbertine Community, communio, which embraces the truth that our life and faith journeys are joined, all seeking something more, something higher than ourselves - that we should be of one heart and mind on our way into God.
Our work under Somos de la Vid seeks to bring people together of all experiences and perspectives and to serve as a support to other ministries, initiatives, and movements that do the same with an approach of availability, openness, and love.
ART AT THE ABBEY. . . By organizing, hosting, and facilitating art exhibitions at Santa Maria de la Vid Abbey, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we hope to accompany and inspire our local community in imagining and visioning life in abundance through a lens of diverse human experiences and perspectives.
Within a community committed to life-long ministry in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, our office wishes to offer support to youth and young adult ministers and ministries, parishes, and other like-hearted efforts toward a common goal: to deepen our life journeys and desire to grow in and share faith . . .
. . . Over 400 years after the Roman Catholic Faith was brought to New Mexico we as Norbertines, Canons Regular of Prémontré, are planting the seeds of our ancient tradition to live a life of community, contemplation and compassionate service with the people of God in the southwestern United States . . .
