Solemn profession of Brother Matth\u00e4us Konieczny OSB<\/h2>\n

\"An Admont Benedictine with an American bonus\"<\/h2>\n

Monday, 21 March 2022<\/strong>
Am Hochfest des Heimgangs unseres Ordensvaters Benedikt, dem 21. M\u00e4rz, legte frater Matth\u00e4us Konieczny in der Admont Abbey Church<\/a> seine feierliche Profess ab. Mit ihm freuten sich seine Mitbr\u00fcder aus Admont, seine Familie, Gl\u00e4ubige aus den Stiftspfarren und Freunde. Abt Gerhard Hafner hob in seiner Predigt hervor, dass frater Matth\u00e4us damit Gottes Auftrag an Abraham verwirklichte: Geh fort aus deinem Land, aus deiner Verwandtschaft und aus deinem Vaterhaus in das Land, das ich dir zeigen werde! (Genesis 12,1)<\/p>\n

Matthew Konieczny wurde 1990 im Bundesstaat Indiana (USA) geboren. Er wuchs mit einem j\u00fcngeren Bruder in der Stadt Lafayette auf. Nach Abschluss seines Masterstudiums in Theologie und Philosophie trat er 2018 in die St. Bernard Abbey in Cullman, Alabama, ein. Dort erhielt er den Klosternamen Cassian und legte am 21. M\u00e4rz 2019 seine einfache Profess ab. Ab dem Sommer 2020 war frater Cassian dann einige Monate lang Gast in unserer Gemeinschaft. Seiner Bitte um die \u00dcbertragung seiner zeitlichen Gel\u00fcbde auf Admont wurde im Februar 2021 entsprochen. Am 20. M\u00e4rz 2021 wurde somit aus frater Cassian frater Matth\u00e4us.<\/p>\n

Bei der Profess betonte Abt Gerhard au\u00dferdem den \u201eAmerika-Bonus\u201c von frater Matth\u00e4us Konieczny. Dieser werde ihm beim Religionsunterricht, bei seiner Sprachassistenz in Englisch und als Schulseelsorger, aber auch in der Pfarrseelsorge zugutekommen. \u201eDu sollst ein Segen sein; denn du bist ein Segen\u201c: Das gab Abt Gerhard frater Matth\u00e4us schlie\u00dflich mit auf seinen weiteren kl\u00f6sterlichen Lebensweg im Benediktinerstift von Admont.<\/p>\n
