The Abbey of the
Genesee is the home of a community of Roman Catholic monks
located in the beautiful Genesee valley
of Upstate New York. Dom John
Eudes Bamberger was the fourth Abbot of the Abbey of the Genesee
for over thirty years. Upon reaching his 75th birthday in August of 2001 he
submitted his resignation from the abbatial office in keeping with the
Constitutions of the Order.
With the election of our new Abbot, Dom John Eudes began
living the life of a hermit at the monastery while continuing to teach and
work in the community. He also occasionally participates in celebrating the
liturgy joining the community for conventual Mass. While he no
longer gives chapter talks he does continue to preach homilies from time to
time.
In keeping
with his practice of maintaining a web site for the publication of his
chapter talks and homilies he will continue putting up his homilies while
living in semi retirement.
The Index
Page provides access to the recent homilies given by Dom John Eudes. The Archive Page preserves documents less recent in origin and
makes them readily available for consultation. Monastic life has
contributed immensely to the spiritual life of Christians at all periods of
the Church's history, both in the East and West. Today too monks continue
to seek union with God and wish to make a contribution to the spiritual
life of all persons of good will. Christ's Person and his message remain a
source of life for all human kind, and monastic spirituality has a way of
presenting Him and his truth which opens new doors to life.
