An unforgettable evening with the Little Sisters of the Lamb included vespers, dinner, more than two hours of conversation with the little sisters and night prayer. The little monastery "Lumen Christi" (Light of Christ), inaugurated on September 14, 2013, sits on a hill in the Riverview neighborhood of Kansas City, KS, a place of peace and prayer in the neighborhood. The Community of the Lamb was founded in France by little sister Marie, officially recognized by Bishop Michel Kuehn of the Diocese of Chartres on December 17, 1981. Today the Community is comprised of more than 170 little sisters and more than 30 little brothers from various countries around the world. Little monasteries can be found in 8 countries, with the sole North American monastery in Kansas City. The little sisters are a contemplative community, mendicants in the heart of the Church. It was blessing and privilege to learn about the little sisters during our evening encounter.
