Comments and reflections on the departure of Dom David from Glenstal.
AI CLEANED TEXT:
Could you doubt that anyone will feel more deeply than myself the departure of Fr. David? And, whatever you may say, I think I fully realize what a loss it is for Glenstal. Even now, when the disagreement was growing every day, I felt his advice was so reliable and considered. God knows—and only He knows what arose between Fr. David and...well, I cannot say "myself," for he did not reproach me with anything but following too exactly the lines he thought unwise, but that I sometimes knew I was not free to change. Is Fr. Abbot right or not? The future will probably show, but I don't think I ever underestimated Fr. David as a counselor, faithful brother, and friend. In the past times, my position grew intolerable because everything was recalling us to the painful disagreement between him and my superior. I shall not say I am a victim, but I would not like to be thought a torturer. Even that painful situation did not prevent all efforts to keep Fr. David in Glenstal. Our hope is in God, and I am sure that He will provide for the best for M.M.M. and our little community.
