Br Elias,
Thanks for sharing.
A friend of mine, well we have gotten to know each other from chatting at chruchbulletin.com, a very orthodox Catholic chatroom, her son Phillip was just there on retreat. He really desires to become a part of your order, but alas, he is very young 19 or 20,and they want him to wait a year.
Lou and her husband really enjoyed the visit to your abbey back in the late summer. She is praying and hoping that he sticks to his guns and answers the call that he feels he has received. But, she can't say enough about how wonderful all of you are.
