We hope that you will find our web site informative, and spiritually useful. If you find that you would like to be a part of our "auxiliary/online membership" contact us and we would be happy to encourage you along this way. May the Peace, Joy and Goodness of God be with you this day and always! |
OUR MONASTIC FOCUS:
THROUGH THE RED CROSS OF SUFFERING! TO THE GOLD CROSS OF VICTORY! in SILENCE, we LISTEN, so to OBEY praying all the while for the PURIFICATION AND PERFECTION OF THE CHURCH on earth and the SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE WORLD into the glorious Kingdom of God in heaven. so that we can bring from the CROSS OF CHRIST JOY, HOPE and PEACE into the waiting world, daily - one person at a time! - and especially in this Jubliee Year of Mercy - Proclaimed by our Holy Father, Pope Francis, we aim to act like "missionaries of mercy" wherever we may find ourselves; there is always an opportunity to announce God's mercy, love, compassion and tenderness. |
Our Rule - is a modified version of the Rule of St. Benedict of Nursia - which is 1500 years old. It is tried. It is tested. It is true. It never fails to invoke the presence of God and the power to do his holy will. It can be found in the ..."more" section" in the above menu links.
Our Prayer
DAILY PRAYER FOR US INCLUDES: The Eucharist Celebration of the HOLY MASS THE LITURGY OF THE HOURS Morning, Daytime, Evening and Night Prayer (in common, in our beautifully appointed apartment chapel) The ROSARY The DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET The ANGELUS and additional COMMON PRAYERS Periods of PRIVATE PRAYER which may include types such as Lectio Divina, Marian Novenas, prayers and Stations of the Cross |
Our Work
THE WORK THAT WE DO: - the work that emanates from our prayer is (as of yet) not "assigned us by the Church" - and so we take it upon ourselves to - in the ordinary undertakings of our regular lives determined by our state in life - to bring a true sense of Joy, Hope and Peace that flows from the Cross of Christ to others we meet in our day, mostly, one person at a time! We believe that everything is different because of the Cross. And we hold it as a sacred trust to get that message out! 
Our Silence
Ours is by no means a totally silent and contemplative community, but in our ordinary "noisiness" we make an effort to at least try to maintain the "spirit of silence" necessary to give room to the Holy Spirit to move us and speak to us! We stop in occasionally to our prayer oratory, just to take a breath and to recharge - spiritually! Then we are off again, spreading joy, hope and peace in any number of big or small ways! |

COME, HOLY SPIRIT COME
And from thy celestial home
Shed a ray of light divine!
Come, Father of the poor!
Come, source of all our store!
Come, within our bosoms shine!
You, of comforters the best;
You, the souls most welcome guest;
Sweet refreshment here below;
In our labor, rest most sweet;
Grateful coolness in the heat;
Solace in the midst of woe.
O most blessed Light divine,
Shine within these hearts of thine,
And our inmost being fill!
Where you are not, man has naught,
Nothing good in deed or thought,
Nothing free from taint of ill.
Heal our wounds, our strength renew;
On our dryness pour thy dew;
Wash the stains of guilt away.
Bend the stubborn heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray.
On the faithful who adore
And confess thee evermore
In your sev’nfold gift descend;
Give them virtue’s sure reward;
Give them your salvation, Lord;
Give them joys that never end.
Amen. Alleluia!

within your wounds, hide me;
let me never be separated from you;
from the evil one, protect me;
at the hour of my death, call me;
and bid me to come to you;
that with your saints,
I may praise you forever and ever. Amen.
Short-Form Deliverance
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, by the power of his cross, his blood and his resurrection, we bind you Satan, the spirit, powers and forces of darkness, the nether world, and the evil forces of nature. We bind all demonic interaction, interplay, and communications between spirits sent against us. We send them directly to Jesus Christ for him to deal with as he wills.
Prayer for a Spiritual Canopy
Dear Lord Jesus, please forgive us for all the times we have not submitted to you. Forgive us for all sinfulness, and for agreeing with the enemy and his lies. We submit to you as our Lord, and break every agreement we have made with the enemy.
Lord Jesus Christ, we now ask you to establish a hedge of protection around us, over us, and under us, and seal it with your blood.
We choose to put on the full armor of God; and ask that you cleanse us and seal us body, mind, soul and spirit, with your blood, Lord Jesus. We ask you to be our constant guide, defender, and friend this whole day long!
Closing of Deliverance Prayers
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for awakening our sleeping spirits, and bringing us into your light this day. Thank you, Lord, for transforming us by the renewing of our minds. Thank you, for pouring out your Spirit on us, and revealing your Word to us. Thank you, for giving your angels charge over us in all our ways. Thank you for our faith in you and that from our innermost being shall flow rivers of living water. Thank you for directing our minds and hearts into the love of the Father and the steadfastness of all your ways. Fill us to overflowing with your life and love, our Lord and King, Jesus Christ

Let everything that breathes praise the LORD!
