It was just about a month ago that we published an interview with the prior of the a new monastery attached to the usus antiquior in the diocese of Fréjus-Toulon, France, the Monastère Saint-Benoît.
Always interested in keeping up with these sorts of monasteries and giving our readers an "inside look" at them, I thought I would share a little news published on their site yesterday involving the blessing of a new refectory crucifix.
While not liturgical, the photos give a bit more of a sense of the day to day life and setting of the new monastery.

Thanks to a very generous benefactor and to the added kindness of the company 4.crucifix.com our refectory now has a splendid oak and linden wood 42 inch crucifix. It was blessed before luncheon today.

Our refectory now contains three significant benefactions: the crucifix, the refectory table and the statue of Saint Benedict.

Deign, O Lord, to grant eternal life
to all who do good works for the sake of your name. Amen.
