Ora et labora --- the combination of work and prayer so gracefully lived out by the Benedictine sisters at Queen of Angel Monastery --- has called to us continually since our four weeks of service there last summer. So we contacted Sr. Marietta, who invited us back to spend the two weeks of our winter break.
We decided to take the train from San Jose instead of driving. This turned out to be a wise decision in light of the unusual amount of snow for the Willamette Valley --- and all of Oregon, it seems. We boarded the Coast Starlight at 8:30 pm at Diridon Station with an anticipated arrival in Salem at 2:03 pm the next day.
