SJMC The Monks The huge silver teapots that adorn the refectory table and the velvety jam gingerly spread over thick wedges. Quaint English civility that masks what happens beneath. As these black clad brothers retire there is no convivial conversation over cigars and brandy by roaring fire, they return to their work their continued encounter with His divine self. The rain, in sheets, lashes the rooftops and the wind, whipped up, attempts to penetrate the panes in windows which rattle in their frames and give rise to the feeling that this is a fortress in the great battle beyond. These men in humble habits are warriors for a world we rarely see yet they dwell in for life. Each worldly distraction, each body afflicted with illness or the fragility of mortality is but a speck in the grand plan of the eternity they bear witness to and becomes nothing more than fodder for their prayers which continue to rise like the obsidian winged companion of their Holy founding father. He who took the fire which was kindled in the East and built around it a school that we may too learn how to fan the embers embedded in our souls that they may burst into flame for Him, who calls each and every disciple to be a monk in ordinary life with singularity of focus to prefer nothing to the love of Christ.
