I'm trying to adhere to a "three messages and out" rule, so this will be my last post on this topic. Reply or not as you like.

The sanctification of the world happens in many ways. The Mount Tabor Benedictines are contributing to that sanctification just as surely as are the most prayerful cloistered Carmelites.

There's no dichotomy between the sacred and the mundane when it comes to the work of Christ. As you yourself admitted in a different post, even changing diapers can have salvific effect. It makes no difference whether or not the hands doing the changing belong to a lay person.
