“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

  

 

 

  

           

                               

                                                

There may be some that want the life Jesus offers but feel caught in the bramble of thorns of life and just can’t seem to break out. The thorns seem to choke us and overpower our desire to accept the love of God.

 

Or maybe you just cannot hear the word at all because something bad has happened and you don’t understand how a good God can allow such bad things. Maybe you cannot trust religion. To you I say trust your heart. That is where the whisper of God is.

"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
