Timeline
Michael Lensing (January 11, 1916 Scranton, Arkansas – December 3, 1988, Subiaco, Arkansas) was a Benedictine monk and the fourth Abbot of Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas.
William Lensing was born in Scranton, Arkansas, on January 11, 1916, the son of Caspar Lensing and Anna Heim.
After completing the elementary grades at St. Ignatius parish school in Scranton, he enrolled at Subiaco Academy, where he graduated in 1932 and continued his studies in the Abbey seminary.
He made his profession of vows on September 16, 1933, receiving the name Michael, and was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop John B. Morris on June 3, 1939.
Father Michael taught in Subiaco Academy from 1939 to 1943.
In 1940, he was appointed the first editor of the Abbey’s newsletter, The Abbey Message, and continued in that role until 1957.
From 1943 to 1954 he was also the director of the initial formation of new monks.
From 1945 to 1948 he was director of the National Catholic Rural Life Conference.
As seen in the photo, his work in the field of advocacy partnered him with such figures as Dorothy Day the noted co-founder of the Catholic Worker Movement.
Father Michael was elected fourth Abbot of Subiaco Abbey on September 23, 1957.
He completed the construction of the Abbey Church which had been the dream of his predecessor, Abbot Paul Nahlen, and directed several building projects in the monastery and school.
In 1961, the Abbey’s foundation in south Texas was raised from a priory to Corpus Christi Abbey.
Abbot Michael guided the community through the renewal period after the Catholic Church’s Second Vatican Council (1962-1965).
The Abbey established missions in Nigeria, West Africa, in 1963, and later in Belize, Central America, in 1971.
In January, 1970, Abbot Michael was diagnosed as having Parkinson’s Disease.
By 1974, his health had been seriously impaired, and he resigned the office of Abbot on October 30, 1974.
He set a new standard by putting aside the title and insignia of abbot and returning to the ranks of the community.
Father Michael continued to weaken under the effects of Parkinson’s Disease and eventually moved to the Abbey’s infirmary, where he died on December 30, 1988.
Abbot Michael Lensing was well known not only in the Church and Civic venues of Arkansas, but also for his missionary outreach throughout the world.
A few of his accomplishments would include:
