Stillsong Hermitage is a Catholic Hermitage (Canon 603 or Diocesan) in the Camaldolese Benedictine tradition. The name reflects the essential joy and wholeness that comes from a Christ-centered life of prayer in the silence of solitude, and points to the fact that contemplative life -- even that of the hermit -- spills over into witness and proclamation. At the heart of the Church, in the stillness and joy of God's dynamic peace, resonates the song which IS the solitary Catholic hermit.
Every Church should have a gargoyle. Since, according to Peter Damian, I am a little Church (ecclesiola), and a new one as well, Junior is a baby gargoyle. Besides, I thought he was pretty cute. He is formed to fit on his Mother's knee, but the two together were a bit too expensive for my budget, and a bit too large as well. Here Junior is protecting my profession candle (to be used at my consecration in September 2007).
