As noted in Sunday’s Gospel for January 22, 2012, Mark 1:17, “Jesus said to them, “Come after me, I will make you fishers of men.”

We mourn the death of former Archbishop Robert Sanchez who followed Our Lord in a very loving and compassionate way.   Archbishop Sanchez died on Friday, January 20, 2012.  He served as the Archbishop of Santa Fe from 1974-1993.  In 1991, the Monastery of Our Lady of the Desert assumed sponsorship seeking the Benedictine way of life through his approval.

God of all Goodness, you have called Archbishop Robert Sanchez out of this world.  Welcome him into your presence that he may be in peace and eternal light and raised in the glory of all your saints.
