Today is the feast of Jesus' birth as celebrated in the Western Church. Praise be to God - Father Son and Holy Spirit, and honour to Mary our mother and Joseph her holy spouse.
This is our first Christmas without our beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, and aunt Sheila. However, in Christ, in the heart of Our Father we are all one. There is no separation in life and death in the Heart of Our Loving Father.
These days I work in a big city. Every day I listen to up to ten or more languages spoken by people on the train... these are amazing times.
Loving Father, have mercy on us as we seek You. Forgive our shortcomings. Help us to see all things for what they are; Make us live in Reality. Amen.

About Me
- b. John
- I am a consecrated Christian solitary brother, observant of the Rule of St. Albert (CCC 920-921). I serve the body of Christ in fraternal community with the Order of Preachers (Rom 11:17). Please pray for us in our call and mission to serve God and His church. / The monks here depicted are of the eremitic Order of St. Jerome (Hieronymites) to whom I was introduced in Lisbon, Portugal through the 'Mosteiro dos Jeronimos' world heritage site. The blog title page features an image of the Carmelite Martyrs of Compiègne who gave their lives for the peace of God's people during the French Revolution's reign of terror. Holy Carmelite Saints & Martyrs please pray for us + For (well intentioned) questions related to the teaching of the Church in the areas of faith and morals you are very welcome to email me at the following address and I will try to be of assistance or refer you to other resources - Peace in our Jesus :) hermitbrothersjmc@gmail.com
