Reposting from March 19, 2019--to keep truth foremost (specifically for the perpetrator who is lying, outright) of what is reality--for the perp continues in wrong-doing: Well, this is most fascinating turn of events, if not so pitiable.  Perhaps there is great good in having pursued a canonical hermit's cyberstalking and doxxing that has gone on far too long.  Now for an update. Once the canonical hermit's diocese Vicar General checked into their situation with the canonical hermit of which they had no knowledge of being "theirs," they want nothing to do with the situation ..read more

  Someone left a comment elsewhere, "Wonderful to see you always striving for goodness.   I certainly always have tried; I was reared in this Christian ethos and morality.  I don't intend ever to think, feel, do or live otherwise.  I am for God, living All for God.  I responded to the commenter, and with neck in so much pain and despite about as good of sleep as I've had in a long time but still so fatigued, I rejoice in guidance of my new and current, helpfully journeying with me with Jesus in loving, wise, holy mentor, St. Fiacre (d. 670 age 70).  He's alre ..read more

  I am finding increasingly, that I so love St. Nerses Chnorhali, 12th C. Armenian patriarch, a mystic poet and holy saint!  Following is Part II of his "Jesus Only Begotten Son of the Father": May my gifts please You I was similar to the bad servant, Who for the talents entrusted does not earn anything; And even surpassing it, Because I lost the gift of grace. I did not duplicate your talent, Neither quadruple nor increase by five, So that I reign completely The ten cities of the senses. But I buried my only talent underground, By packing it up in the veil of vices; I did not pu ..read more

  Just want to clarify that there are added lies being stated of me online by a person who has persistently stalked, harassed, and doxxed me--and misrepresenting me online.  I have made it clear that I am having nothing to do with this person other than to pray for the person.  I also, very much wish the person well, have come to understand the person, and love the person in God's Love, despite the behaviors involved which are now understandable, given the situation. For any readers coming to my site, just know that in addition to praying for the person, I have moved on from ha ..read more

  Venerable Madeleine Delbrêl (1904-1964) missionary to the down-and-outs Evangelical Communities of our Time Necessary ruptures The ruptures necessary for the church and to a Christian, the ruptures necessary with the world to save the world and the ruptures necessary for the church to function, must be discerned, but they are fundamental. I believe that it is important that we become aware of the ruptures which are necessary for discipleship and without which a Christian life is not even elementary Christian, of the ruptures which are requested from any Christian simply because he or s ..read more

  Answers to prayers seem to unfolding regarding the person who for years has chosen me as an enemy, it would seem.  The person has explained online that my concerns evidently have been corrected, so I am grateful that this person has let her diocese know--her current Bishop and her Vicar General of Religious know that she is a CL603 hermit in her diocese and has been since September 2007.  Also, her spiritual directors or "delegate" and I believe another term was recently used, as well, are now in bonafide religious orders, not that it matters as there was one early on who was ..read more

  The issues with the woman CL603 hermit are resolved.  What I wrote and her followers pointing her to my concerns has brought about what I needed to know, that as long as I say or write nothing of her, she will not write or say nothing of me.  I did not go into enough detail nor explain how it was I was tricked into contacting her by her old friend, a hermit in New Zealand who she asked to contact me back in 2007 to say a hermit in CA wanted met to email here as she wanted to help me with my hermit life.   Instead, she proceeded to detract me after a few interchanges ..read more

  As I have discovered, unless someone is being mean-spirited and doxxes you online, writing on a blog can be a sharing as if in a journal or as hermits wrote on papyrus their thoughts, or who spoke with those who came to their huts wanting advice or spiirtual conversation.  No reason to not be realistic if in the 4th c. if a pilgrim came to a hermit's hut and mentioned there was a hermit who was attacking other hermits or was lying or altering the truth or misrepresenting others, that reality might be discussed with the outcome being PRAYER.  Or the the other hermits or th ..read more

Venerable Pius XII Pope from 1939 to 1958 Encyclical "Fulgens radiatur"», 21/03/1947 Paragragh 18-20 Saint Benedict established the peace of Christ in Europe During a dark and turbulent age, when agriculture, honorable crafts, the study of the fine arts profane and divine were little esteemed and shamefully neglected by nearly all, there arose in Benedictine monasteries an almost countless multitude of farmers, craftsmen and learned people who did their utmost to conserve the memorials of ancient learning and brought back nations both old and new - often at war with each other - to peace, h ..read more

  I've not been writing much at all on this site for a year or more.  It's been a very difficult year with health trials following a total knee replacement a year ago June 20--a surgery that failed.  My left knee is constantly in pain, is large, hardened from fibrotic tissue that grew erratically beginning actually during the surgery.  Now I continue the oil and wraps and heat packs, the PT, for the knee is always going to be a sad and sorry state of added suffering that should never have occurred but for the only explanation I located that was not due to the surgeon or hi ..read more
