We are a community of men giving our whole selves over to living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Rooted in the ancient monastic traditions of prayer and community life, and critically engaged with contemporary culture, we seek to know and share an authentic experience of God’s love and mercy. We live a common life shaped by worship, prayer, and our Rule of Life.
We invite you to explore these pages to learn more about how we live and pray, the tradition that grounds us, and the call that draws us onward day by day.
True intercession, the sort that Jesus shares with the Father, is not just a shopping list of the needs of the world, nor is it informing God of something he knows already. Rather, it is a profound, loving, and costly holding up of others who are on our hearts before God. True intercession is being with God, with the people on our hearts.
“We keep learning to pray all our lives, stepping backward and forward, slowly becoming, ever relying on God. “Give us this day our daily bread.” We need God, and God responds with gracious provision.”
Looking to the example of Abraham, Br. Luke Ditewig encourages you to pray from your needs, your moment.
“Close your eyes for a moment and imagine yourself coming into the presence of Jesus, who is so gentle and so humble. Imagine him extending his arms to you, welcoming you into his embrace. Hear him say to you, “Come to me; I want to give you rest…. I see what a heavy burden you’ve been bearing and how weary you are from carrying this load. Let me take it from you. Come apart for a while, and rest.””
Br. David Vryhof encourage us to give our burdens over to Jesus and rest.
“Sometimes, the most important sign is the one in the rearview mirror that pointed us in the right direction and all we need to do is stay the course until and for as long as it takes the next direction to appear. We may not wake up everyday to the voice of God telling us exactly what to do and where to go, but we can be reminded of the signs that have brought us safe thus far and will continue to lead us home.”
Br. Todd Blackham points us to the signs God uses to get our attention.
“Life now, for so many, is a tragic mess, and on so many fronts near and far. You inevitably know this well. The prayer of lament – where you pray your sorrow, or grief, or rage, or regret – is an invitation to pray the mess.”
Br. Curtis Almquist encourages to pray the mess in lament.
“God’s love persists. God’s love overcomes any of our “unworthiness.” If God loves a creature, it is made worthy by that Love. Brothers and sisters, you have never met a human being who isn’t loved by God. You have never met person who is intrinsically unworthy—and this includes yourself.”
Br. Sean Glenn sings the good news of our inalienable worthiness, as creatures loved by God.
