Here's the next video in the new series I've produced for my students on John Cassian's Institutes book 8, where he argues that we need to root anger out entirely from our souls

One of our projects will look at a Scottish women's community, Elcho Priory. This house held an important place along the Tay medieval landscape / waterscape and shaped medieval life for women religious in Scotland. #nuntastic #monastic

I’ve been keeping #monastic hours, going to bed between eleven and midnight, waking up naturally before my alarm at five, and have yet to experience any serious ill effects. #sleep #meditation #mindfulness #spirituality #listentoyourbody

A big part of my #monastic #contemplative practice is in the constant, even daily, honoring of my limitations as a human being. "Honoring" is a deliberate word choice - it includes acceptance and observation, but also respect and deference. I defer to my limitations in a way that reaffirms my dependence on others, the Gods, and the whole of creation.

One cannot do anything alone.

This is the Urban Monastic Liturgical Calendar for this upcoming week.

Merry Christmas! This is the first week of Christmastide. This season is full of commemorations. May the Lord help you live in anticipation of Jesus coming into creation, into our midst, and into our hearts.

We just released our Christmas Reflection. May it help you connect with the birth of our Lord in a meaningful way.

the x-ray's inner monologue
#HaikuChallenge #monastic #monoku

Your brightness is my darkness.
I know nothing of You and, by myself,
I cannot even imagine how to go about knowing You.
If I imagine You, I am mistaken.
If I understand You, I am deluded. If I am conscious and certain I know You, I am crazy.
The darkness is enough.

~Thomas Merton, prayer before midnight mass at Christmas, 1941

The Urban Monastic Liturgical Calendar for this upcoming week. The Third week of Advent. This Sunday is rose colored for Gaudete Sunday (rejoicing in the Lord). This Wednesday is a memorial for John of the Cross who was a priest and is a Doctor of the Church.

We will continue publishing weekly reflections on Sundays during Advent and Christmastide. We hope that they bless you this season.

We read the headline and think like dozens, hundreds of them? but it was 4 monks!

The villagers perhaps could reach out to the #bhikkunis for merit-making, as they sure need the support. Women are still barred from full ordination in Thailand.

I’m a follower the #RuleOfStBenedict in a small #monastic community in #suburbia; wondering if this will be a good platform for notes on what I’m #reading, and for connecting with others to talk about #books in the areas of #theology #monasticism #Scripture #liturgy
