Movember Monks



monks tuck
razors away..more or less
just a quick flash
across the face
to create
a most unmonkish moustache




Us monks have changed our shaving rituals, for this month of Movember only, to love, and support our brothers, fathers, friends and sons.

The abbess's father, a most jolly Benedictine monk, is fighting prostrate cancer.

Also a brother monk begins his battle with testicular cancer this week.

Please support us:  HTTP://MOTEAM.CO/HILLCREST-MO-HAWKS

Join our team.  Pray for the health of our brother monks.

Lost Saints or a Monk's Lament

so many old saints
  scattered
far afield
or dusty faded
from my life

gone to
those lost
lingering links
saint's prayers
just a click away


time to gather all the saints
