On today's episode, we're listening to an interview with Br. Steven Vargos, O.Ss.S. from the Brigittine Monks at The Brigittine Priory of Our Lady of Consolation in Amity, OR.
The Order of the Most Holy Savior (the "Brigittines") was founded in 1370 by St. Bridget of Sweden, upon a direct revelation from Heaven, as an order of contemplative monks and nuns, who follow the Rule of St. Augustine. Following the original pattern of monasticism, the monks do not ordinarily receive Holy Orders. The Priory has a special devotion toward the Sacred Liturgy, the Passion of Christ, the Eucharist, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the papacy, and praying for the souls in Purgatory and for the unity of Christians. The monks support themselves by making Gourmet Confections.
Br. Steven Vargos is interviewed by IRL Board member, Jesse Weiler. Thank you for listening and we hope you enjoy!
