No more Gay Bashing in 2007+
Artiste:
Similar case was just on TV News, since gay (Ryan) in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, was on facebook but he got many anti-gay posts; the school Principal said on Tv that he contacted each who presented anti-gay posts, but Ryan said that he got no apology !

What, are you an early monk too ?

Yes, I am a Benedictine Monk and have been for the last 30 years. Currently living as a hermit. I pray for you each day.
No, haven't heard of that film.

Merci frère moine Patrick !
Love your post and you !!
Two days ago or so, I saw that the Benedictine headquaters in Italy was bombed in WW II, and that the art on those wall are being restorded still today, do you know ?
Why are you presently a hermit, may I ask ?
And, since I seem to have collected Christmas cards, I found that the old first ones were more religious, but the others not, do you remember that too?
The very first ones were about Saint Nicholas ?
Au revoir, and have a wonderful day,
hugs!

Our particular monastery wasn't healthy, psychologically. When my mother died right in front of me in 1988, I went into a deep, deep depression. My doctors kept recommending that I get out of the unhealthy environment but I thought that meant I had to leave Religious Life completely. I then found out that I could live outside if I could be self supporting. I filed for Social Security disability in 1997 and was approved.
There are only three Brother Monks living outside of their monasteries in the U.S.
Being a hermit means I spend most of my time alone. I like it that way.

Merci beaucoup for your honest and warm reply, by your post Br. Patrick !
I think that I can understand a bit or more what you are saying !
I can feel that we are attached to our mothers. Death is shocking especially when its arrival is sudden?
This morning there was a TV live program that mentioned about life as well death. There will be World survey done soon in many countries about that. Some persons dead (brain wise) have come back to life, you know ? And some have said to have been out of their body and come back too ? One shocked his nurse when he asked back from life, that she goes to the other room to get his false teeth for him, since he was in brain dead (blue state) then when she did that !
There is a book out by someone... I heard to-day.
You likely know more about life and death now, may I ask ?
You think that we go from one body to another ?
Take care, au revoir, mon ami,
hugs!
