Monk in the World guest post: Jenneth Graser

I am delighted to share another beautiful submission for the Monk in the World guest post series from the community. Read on for Jenneth Graser’s reflection the unfolding process: The deep down longing of my heart in this life for the longest time has been to know God and be known by God. Over the past 8 or so years, this has taken on a completely different flavour as our family has grown. Going back in time to around 2002, my life twisted in an unexpected way when I came back home to South Africa after attending a Ministry School in Toronto, only

Monk Manifesto appears at the On Being Blog

I am delighted that the Monk Manifesto appeared this past week on the On Being blog as well as a reflection by me about it. I submitted this to them quite a while ago, so it doesn’t include our 8th added principle: 8. I commit to being a dancing monk, cultivating creative joy and letting my body and “heart overflow with the inexpressible delights of love.” (You can see the full Monk Manifesto here) But worth a stop by their site to see the dancing monk community around the web.

Praying the Hours of the
