“Love must act as light must shine and fire must burn.”
- Fr. James Huntington, OHC

We are a monastic community dedicated to prayer and prison ministry located in Oceano, California

  

 

 

  

           

                               

                                                

"A sure way to claim or re-claim ourselves as salt of the earth people is to reach out and touch the hurting places in our world. Jesus puts high value on rubbing elbows with the most marginalized and disenfranchised among us. When we do that, empathy and compassion are sure to follow, and we just might experience God’s tears falling from our eyes. And when those tears run down our face and touch our lips we will taste who we are. We will taste salt. And so it is with people like us.

"I was in prison and you visited me."

- Jesus -

"A God that would favor one one person, one nation, or one religion over another would be a very small God."

VOICES FROM INSIDE

"I can't wait to hear about your next book and read more of your spiritual essays. The one on UNITIVE CONSCIOUSNESS was awesome! You challenge and encourage me in continuing my meditation practice. I agree that the Kingdom of Heaven is within us."                                                        Donna A. CCWF
