I know the Norbertine monks Piet, Bernhard and Hans from this abbey in Heewsijk-Dinther in the province of North-Brabant. Bernhard left the abbey, but Piet and Hans still live there. I am still connected to all 3 of them. Each of them good men. Men who devoted and devote their lives to Christ and serving people in need. Spiritualy I feel connected to their spirituality. 42:18 you see the Norbertine with the black stipes on his monk dress. That is Piet. A very old Norbertine in his eighties. All his life he worked with young people, university students, also expat students. He is a serious, wise, spiritual man who has decades of experience, loves art & culture (art history) and knows a lot of Roman-Catholics and non-Catholics from many countries. Maybe this humble, fine, sophisticated old man brought non-catholics to the church. It is an honour to know these Norbertines. To bad I can’t visit the abbey this spring, but later I will go there again with my group.
