OUR LIFE

Our Community life is a balance of Prayer, Work and Study.  

                                                                   Prayer

Prayer is always the fundamental and essential portion of the work done at any religious community or house. Prayer is the central reason for our existence. We offer prayer daily for Christ’s Kingdom, the world and for those who have made prayer requests.  We center our life around the Daily Offices of Mattins and Evensong. We begin each weekday and Saturdays with Morning Prayer at 7:30. Sundays start with attending Mass at our local Anglican parish or with Morning Prayer in our chapel followed by Mass at 11:00. We finish each day with Evening Prayer at 5:30.

                                                                     Work 

Our work is to live in a self-sufficient way as possible through Simplicity, Example, and Education.

Simplicity

Simplicity is central to our community's way of life. We grow as much of our food as possible. That is one way we live a life of producer rather than as a consumer. We support the urban farming and slow food movements, local food producers and our local farmers markets. We live a way of healthy living by practicing natural health

.

Example

We as Christians are commanded, as Saint Francis of Assisi admonishes us, to go and preach the Gospel of Christ, but to use words only when it is necessary. We attempt to do what we are commanded through our work in support of those in need, both spiritually and physically.

Education

We try to educate ourselves and then though our links to educate the world to the need of so many of our fellow humans on this fragile planet. We do not ask for donations for our self but for those organizations that provide for those in need and for those who are out there working to make this world a better place, Check our links for those.

                                                               STUDY

Study of Holy Scripture and other religious writings is an ongoing way of our life.   A daily reading of some religious book is done as part of our Evening Prayer, thus anchoring our prayer life to our study. Each of us are assigned reading to augment our ongoing religious training all the way from Postulant to Life Professed Members.
