Yeah I know, but I don't think I have the personal discipline to live a religious life outside of a community. I wish I did but I know myself pretty well.

Jason,

Prayers, bro! (hopefully literall someday!) It is a beautiful calling to radical availibility and service.

I often think of St. Martin de Porres as an ideal brother. He was also a favorite of Catherine Doherty's.

Have you looked into Madonna House?
