Bose is a community of monks and nuns belonging to different Christian Churches, seeking God in obedience to the Gospel and living in fraternal communion and celibacy. We live in fellowship with men and women and at their service.
With these words of the Easter troparion, which we sing every Sunday morning to express our faith in the resurrection of Christ from the dead, we give you the sad news that on 1 September our brother Enzo Bianchi has fallen asleep in the Lord.
Letter to friends - Qiqajon di Bose n. 80 - Transfiguration 2026
Dear friends,
For far too long now we have been hearing ‘talk of wars and rumours of wars’ (cf. Mt 24:6) and we find it increasingly difficult ‘not to be troubled’, resigning ourselves to the fact that this is how things have always been since the world began. There is far too much waste of life and an even greater abundance of contempt for life, of offences against human dignity, and of indifference towards the common good. There are now far too many innocent victims, guilty only of belonging to a particular people or ethnic group, of living in a disputed land, or of remaining faithful to their own identity and way of life. Far too many people are forced to migrate in search of land, a home, work and the dignity that comes with them. The squalid and inhumane prisons are far too overcrowded. Too many hospitals are prevented from fulfilling their role of caring for bodies and minds. Too many aspirations for freedom are stifled in bloodshed. Too many girls and boys are deprived of a future, if not of parts of their own bodies, of family members, or of their very lives.
