Today is the Solemnity of Saint Benedict, the commemoration of his death. Happy Feast Day to all Benedictine Religious, Oblates, friends, and any others who feel drawn to a Benedictine theology or way of life.

Tomorrow is looking to be a busy but fun day. In the morning, I picked up an extra #volunteer shift serving breakfast to my #unhoused friends. After that I have to drive 45 minutes to see my #SpiritualDirector. Then in the evening, I have my first #Oblate #discernment class. I'm also hoping to stop at one of my favorite diners that is near my spiritual director for a breakfast burrito that I've been obsessing about since they posted a couple pics on social media a few weeks ago.

I start a 6 week online discussion/discernment class with a handful of other people who are discerning becoming an #Oblate at the Benedictine monastery where I am enrolled in my #SpiritualDirector formation program. It's led by two current Oblates and it's the beginning of the formal discernment process and I'm really excited to start and see where it goes.

I started some cool things in 2022, & I'm looking forward to seeing how they develop in 2023.

- I started my Spiritual Director Formation program w/ the #Benedictine Sisters
- I also started the conversation about becoming an #Oblate w/ those Benedictine Sisters
- I started #volunteering with a ministry that serves people experiencing #houselessness & I really enjoy the people I serve and w/ whom I serve.

Looking forward to seeing how these help me continue to develop as a kind & loving human.
