Sweet Baby Jesus In; The Soiled Diaper Of Destiny.

The huffing of paint, cat urine, or second hand marijuana smoke had no influence in the making of this blog post. (Destiny commonly refers to a specific future or outcome that results from a predetermined or inevitable course of events. The word can also refer to the course of events itself or to the power or force thought to make such things happen. A close synonym for all of these senses of the word destiny is fate) Todays topic is destiny, the question of the day is “Was I destined

Okay, okay, before the animosity towards anything Russia due to the war in Ukraine for the past year, hear me out. Since this is a blog on entertainment and not a commentary on any particular country’s current geopolitical views lets not lose focus and flush ourselves down the current toilet bowl that is Russian politics. Lets start off with literature as this was my one and only attempt at reading a Russian classic due to it being a coworker recommended read. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy

that place of rest

That place of ‘rest’ It is always very humbling for me to meet those who come here. They teach me a great deal and I find it interesting that some people think that just because I live in a monastery I am for some reason ‘closer’ to God….. not sure anyone can get ‘closer’ to God than they already are. We just need to believe it and live in that space. I often do not live in that place. Though, as the years pass ever more quickly; I find that grace is slowly and patiently bringing me to th

In consolation or desolation, we are called to trust

In consolation or desolation, we are called to trust In consolation or desolation, we are called to trust and to draw near the Lord who is in fact already one with us. Our yes can be given in times of joy, or sorrow, or in seasons of our life when we are weak and wander away from our first love of God. We are always being called back to have an intimate loving relationship with the Infinite. -Br.MD

“Gethsemane” experience

“Gethsemane” experience Jesus suffered deeply. I would say that one of the experiences ‘all’ humans have to go through if they survive birth and the first few years, will have to go through more than one “Gethsemane” experience. Where there is great suffering, and the sky is silent so to speak, and when heaven seems empty and we are alone. I believe that the anguish that Jesus suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane was that reality. Often prayers seem not to be answered and there is suffering that

Visiting a Buddhist Monastery

Visiting a Buddhist Monastery In 2005 I had the honor of visiting a Buddhist Monastery while visiting my Sister in Vancouver. It was a deeply moving experience for me, and I found the people there, both the monks and nuns and those who were laypeople, easy to be with. One of the nuns was very open and we had a short discussion and she gave me some prayer beads for my wrist. She told me how to use them and I found them much like how we Catholics pray the rosary. A prayer for all of mankind as

Growth in Monastic life, and other vocations

Growth in Monastic life, and other vocations In the Christian Monastic way of life, we are not looking for enlightenment as such, but a slow often frustrating journey into the Heart of God. It is the growth of love that is sought, of service, and the patience to go for decades slowly arriving at that point in time when simplicity,love of others, and the letting go of the fear of pain grows. I have seen everything come for the monks here to a point only at the time of death, or just before d
