Benedictine abbey on the Danube is the place of union with the spirituality of the Christian East.
"We earnestly entreat you, Venerable Brethren, that you add your efforts to ours, for this most important end of promoting Oriental studies.”
- Pius XI
This was one of my early visits to German basilicas. I was surprised by a nice and quiet place in between the streams close to the Danube river. And my biggest surprise was the connection with Eastern churches.
