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.

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

  1. Oh, so sad about your brother monks. Glad you will grow your beard in their honor. May they come through the fire with many years still ahead of them. Peace, Ollie. And strength. You will all need it.

  2. Sad to hear of your brother monks' battles with cancer - may they win. And I am certain your mustache is most excellent.

  3. I only heard about Movember last night. Wish I had the $ to donate. I do have a heart full of prayers, though.

  4. Brother Ollie,

    I commend the good work and personal trauma to identity, which you and your fellow monks are undertaking during Movember. For very worthy causes.
    Take care with those delicate cut- throat moments:)

    Good luck,
    Eileen....

  9. I hope your fellow monks get better soon. And I loved your short poem; the idea of an unmonkish mustache is quite intriguing. :)
