I find your organization a wonderful opportunity for those who wish
be part of a larger prayer organization and would like to keep it in
mind as a potential expansion of my own studies.
Blessings to you,
Monica

Thank you very much for your e-newsletter.

(Liked best:) The Celtic theme, the Franciscan spirituality, a
lot... (Liked least:) No major grievances. Some minor
doctrinal disagreements. Nothing serious. The web site could
be more impressive visually. 8/08/05_______________________________
Dear Friends,
A question was running through my mind as to
whether or not there were any lay monasteries in existence. I
had contemplated speaking to others about forming one when, lo and
behold, I decided to check first on the internet. And there your
site appeared! What a wonderful revelation! I want to
thank God for you and those of you who have made this a reality.
Perhaps some day I will be able to visit you
and learn more.
In the meantime, I just wanted you to know
that I believe you are part of a movement in the Church that will have
long lasting effects in the lives of people.
Rejoicing with you in the Lord,
Raph M.
8/04/05_______________________________ Survey: (I am:) Born-again; 18-29 age group.
I was surfing the net, looking for "Independent Monastic
Orders". 8/03/05_______________________________ Dear Brother and Sister in Christ, I wanted to write and confirm my commitment to your endeavor as a prayer warrior and request a certificate and card be sent to me at your convenience. I have reviewed your website with great joy and am using your daily prayer schedule in my personal devotions. I was so impressed with the clarity and simplicity of your plan that I volunteered for the 24-hour prayer chain and wanted to further support your order financially. I reviewed your statement of faith and found that it meets my spiritual needs perfectly. I don't yet know if I am prepared to undertake a commitment as a lay monk, but until I am sure, I wanted to let you know of my support. Your ministry has blessed my life and I am grateful. You will find the appropriate donation enclosed for a Prayer Warrior Card & Certificate. May the Lord continue to bless your efforts. Yours in Christ, Lon E. (Tennessee) 8/03/05_______________________________ Dear Monks Linda and Preston,
I Praise The Living LORD for
finding your site! really I do.
I have no idea why I was searching the web, other than a feeling
that I was drawn to search out Protestant Friars and I came
upon your site.
I Love what you are doing and I have been so refreshed and
inspired - and that's not easy for us unemotional Brits : )
Nearly 15 years ago having listened and loved John Michael Talbot and always been fascinated by the life of a contemplative, I visited a Franciscan Friary in Alnmouth (which is not too far from Holy Island). I felt God was drawing me to some kind of 'monk-like' life (?).
What I have lacked in my life is the routine of prayer that
belonging to an 'Order' can bring. Whilst this can become
spiritually dry if it is followed 'religiously', I fully agree with
all that you say about times
of the day for reflection. And it is as if; if I were
to belong to a praying Order; that would be enough for me to follow
a regular diet of prayer.
In my past, have been a Youth Pastor (for about 6 years) as well
as youth leader, and part of the Church 'over-sight.' I was
the children's Sunday School teacher as well as the Bible Teacher
for our Church. I consider myself well-read and have already
read some of your recommended
material. If I had the money, I
would willingly purchase the rest and wade through it all! There
isn't one book I would 'turn my nose up' at.
In fact...I wish
there were things on your web-site I could disagree with, because it
all appears too good to be true : ) It is almost as if I had
written the web-site : )
P.S.?
Although I have not visited Lindisfarne,
I have stayed on Iona
in Scotland. A beautiful and almost mysterious Island of
peace and tranquility. I can understand why the Celtic
Fathers chose that place. In regards to Francis,
he has been a hero of mine and found something I would love to
experience. His love of all things, even nature, and his
adoration of Our LORD is a an inspiration to all -- even
non-Catholics. He's one chap I shall rush to talk to
when we arrive in Glory : )
May God continue to cause growth in all that you do for
Him. May the Lord Bless you and Keep you close to His
Heart.

7/28/05_______________________________ (What I liked most about your Site was:) Its simplicity. That it was humble, simple and challenging to me to forsake worldly things to do the Lord's will...
