The Passing of our Fr. Matt Torpey
On the last Wednesday of the month, we have our retreat day. It is a day when our schedule is simplified, and there is only necessary work. Our first office of the day, which is named Vigils, is toned down. Except for the responsorial psalm, and the opening hymn, the office is said in the dark, the six psalms broken down into two sections, separated by a scripture reading, and then we only have five minutes of meditation, instead of the usual 30 minutes.
