“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

  

 

 

  

           

                               

                                                

"The Latin root word for “companion” is companis, which means “bread” or “loaf,” or more literally, “to be bread for one another.” We are all called to be companions along the way with each other. We are all called to be bread for each other and to nourish one another. On the sacred journey of life, we will meet many people along the way: people who are struggling, and people who help us when we stumble.

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."
