.This icon was written by Dom Alex for his ordination. Christ on the Cross as source of our intimacy with God the Father, as the sacrifice that unites the community of monks representing the Church on earth with the Liturgy of Heaven, symbolised by the two angels representing the heavenly host. Both heaven and earth are receiving sustenance from Christ because he is the Person who unites in himself the Creator with his creation. His obedience unto death becomes, through his resurrection and ascension, the cosmic sacrifice which is celebrated in the Eucharist and is the means by which the whole of Creation is transformed into a new heaven and a new earth.
The Medallion of Christ Pantokrator in the centre of his chasuble is from
St Elizabeth’s Convent, an Orthodox monastery of nuns in Minsk, Belarus.
The ordination took place in Chiclayo, a city in the north of Peru, in the sanctuary-monastery of Our Lady of Peace which is a diocesan pilgrimage centre and a convent of descalced Carmelite nuns. The bishop of Chiclayo celebrated. We have known him since he was a priest in Piura; and Alex comes from Chiclayo city and has an immense family as well as numerous friends who would not have been able to come to our monastery, nor would they have all fitted into our small chapel.
In this photo, there is the Bishop of Chiclayo, with the Abbot President of the English Benedictine Congregation on his right and Abbot Paul of Belmont (UK) on his left. Next to Abbot Paul is Father Simon who was superior of our monastery here in Peru, and is now Cathedral Prior of Coventry and a parish priest of Weobley. Next to him is a friend of ours, Father Eduardo, a hermit monk from Colombia.
