I'm excited. It's what I've been looking for, but didn't know it exactly till I found it. (I would like to see) more Links to international sites. Julie S. (New South Wales, Australia)

I have been reading your site for some time now, and I am very proud of
what you are doing, and trying to achieve. I am also learning to become a monk as well as a few others near me. We were inspired by you and hope to either form a monastery of our own in south Texas, or one day join yours. I know that its hard to get things going, but I'm confident that everything will work out. Our prayers go out to you and your cause, and thank you for making the website and organization.

Greetings of peace!

As a Franciscan friar I found your website to be very interesting. Good luck with your project! How kind of you to include the Franciscan element in your ministry. I agree with you, so many are deeply influenced by Francis' narrative, spirituality and inclusive manner of understanding Christianity, he truly is everybody's saint.
I am excited by your ministry and am always happy to see examples of
convergence taking place in the wider church. I am especially interested in hearing of communities such as yours which clearly demonstrate how much we all share in common. May the Lord continue to bless you and your worthwhile ministry.
Peace and all good!

Brother Albert, OFM

Knights of Prayer ™, In the Newsletter you mentioned that Irish monks were allowed to be married, and that the position of abbot passed from father to son. In my studies on Celtic Christianity, I have not found resources that discuss this, save one mention of a monastery where monks were allowed to be married but were required to abstain from sexual relations after they had taken their monastic vows. Realizing the great variation in the Irish tradition, I know that this is probably not the case everywhere. Could you direct me toward some sources, particularly primary sources, where I can find such information? Thank you. Monk Brian (New Hampshire)

Reply from The Prayer Foundation ™ : We have posted a few references that we hope will help you on our web page: Were Celtic Monks Married?
