The Franciscan Hermit

Seeing God In His Creatures. Experiencing Loneliness,Abandonement, Sickness and Poverty. Learning how to live The Gospel Life while in The World. Writing about individual journey experiences that might help others. Prayer intentions. Sacrificing for others. Becoming child-like. Seeing Jesus' face in the poor and the sick, the hungry and the homeless. Learning to depend solely on God The Father, Jesus The Son and The Holy Spirit. Learning to avoid self centered desires and temptations.

SPLINTERS FROM THE CROSS?



The Hermit Talks:

Has the Wood of The Cross placed any splinters on our hands yet? Are we starting to feel some of our pains and sufferings or are we going on vacation? Perhaps Atlantic City, The Bahamas or Mexican Beaches with fancy hotels? Maybe were just going to go out and eat a fancy, expensive dinner at a nice restaurant. What is a nice restaurant? Some of us continuously need to find an outlet to diffuse our frustations that buildup from our jobs and vocations. We look for that rich life. We search for ways of finding joy,happiness. We sometimes find that we are alone with nobody around when we need them. Loneliness,abandonement,material poverty,spiritual poverty. Our emotions sometimes play games on us.
