“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

  

 

 

  

           

                               

                                                

"Love cannot be done from a distance. Love is something actualized in close proximity with each other. We need to see each other, touch each other, and help each other in real ways, like the woman standing in the lunch line at the parish; like the Beguines who lived among the lepers; like one recovery addict/alcoholic helping another; like the giving and receiving of acts of kindness between our friends who are locked up. Opportunities to share the abundance of God’s love with each other are plentiful."

"I was in prison and you visited me."

- Jesus -

"No matter who we are, where we have been, what we have done or had done to us, no one is beyond the grace and love of God."

VOICES FROM INSIDE

"I really enjoyed your reflection on UNITIVE CONSCIOUSNESS. Thank you.

   I was listening to a podcast where someone commented that the best place to hide the divine from humans is within, because they will look everywhere else but inside. We can have such a hard time seeing through the illusion of separateness."
