Pray for the Brothers & Sisters of Charity at Little Portion Monastery in Arkansas. They've had a fire that totally destroyed their Chapel and Common House. This is the Monastic Community that John Michael Talbot founded and where he lives. His post about the fire is here. Apparently no one was hurt, which is a very good thing. Sad, though. I remember visiting there once with Liz - one evening 10 years ago we went there and prayed Evening Prayer with them in that Chapel. Too bad.

is a man without a mission, and the cross without Jesus
is a burden without a reliever." Fulton J. Sheen
"...I am deeply convinced that the Christian leader of the future is called to be
completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self." Henri Nouwen
