How to live like a monk....without being a 'monk'...
How uncanny! I have been thinking like a "monk" and wanting to live like a monk/hermit and * voila* the Holy Spirit leads me here to see what this lay apostolate is all about. This sounds cool and it's tugging at my heartstrings. I must learn more about them and you can, too, right here. And the monk rock blog. "The Holy Scriptures do not know any distinctions," said St. John Chrysostom, "They enjoin that all lead the life of monks."
Not 100 people in the United States hate the Roman Catholic Church, but millions hate what they mistakenly think the Roman Catholic Church is. -- Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
I returned to the "First Pre-denominational Church of Christ," (as my husband brilliantly 'dubbed' it) aka: the Catholic Church in Dec. 2004, after my husband told me he wanted to go back to the "faith of his youth." The decision to swim across the Tiber has cost dearly, but has been worth it all! AND we are new grandparents of twin boys this summer, 2010!
