Here are my friends and I mean that literally.
I do volunteer work for them from time to time.
I know these Monks.
They are truly Holy Christians.
They put their faith where their mouth is.
All great men...I still remembered how I celebrated Easter Vigil the year before last with Father Groeschel and Father Apostoli!
It was like being among The Apostles.
They exude Holiness.
You feel it eminating from them.
I've adorated the Holy Eucharist in those chapels you see here.
I've made my confession to some of the Priests you see here.

THat is amazing and everyone should look up to these guys. It takes a special person to give up everything for Christ.

If it wasn't for my daughters, I think I would've given up on the world a long time ago and serve God. Even though I have a great job now, I still think of just giving up everything and serving God by serving the poor. |

You can take care of your family first, then do as much as possible for the poor. I wish i had alot of money to hand out but that is just not the reality. Maybe one day i can make i big difference for someone.

Not everybody is called to serve, but those who are, should...I should. I'm called to serve. |

Doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with "not" serving because one is too busy of course, but trust me CC, once you do it, you'll want to do it again.

I was going to be a nun. Now, I'm thinking being a "third order" Dominican. www.3op.org/Cepha, have you ever thought about being a Deacon? Not really the same as a monk, but you could do a lot of cool things as a deacon. Our deacon (also named Steven) and his wife were my sponsors. He also baptized our daughters. |

Yeah because of you were ordained first you couldn't get married. I am sure that if it is Gods will he will send you the right woman at the right time. Just make sure you get to know her first or you will end up like me.

If it is God's Will, then it will happened. In IC.XC, Ramon |

Just make sure you get to know her first or you will end up like me. God's just making sure that I'm good enough for the right woman. I'm a work in progress right now. But, I think I'm ready. |

If it is God's Will, then it will happened. In IC.XC, Ramon I think that's one of the best jobs a man can have. Being a Priest is the best, but after that? Deacon. Imagin being able to partake in the consecration of The Host? Wow. Talk about humbling. |

None of us are good enough.
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

Read The Book of Tobit and Tobias' part! LOL! |
