My nephew Michael Colin Kirby, age 3, ponders things deeply. At other moments — most of the time, that is — he is amazingly active! Michael Colin has a sister, Mary Elizabeth, age 2, and a brother, Jonah Daniel, age 6 weeks. Here are all three children with their Mom.
His Excellency, Bishop Edward J. Slattery of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma has given
Father Mark a special mandate to live under the Rule of Saint Benedict in adoration before the Eucharistic Face of Jesus, offering thanksgiving, intercession, and reparation for all his
brothers in Holy Orders. In this way, Father is preparing the foundation of the new Diocesan Benedictine Monastery of Our Lady of the Cenacle. Father Mark is available to the
priests and deacons of the Diocese for spiritual and sacramental support in their pursuit of holiness. He is also charged with the spiritual formation of women who desire to dedicate themselves to spiritual motherhood in favour of priests.
This is so bizarre - I just opened your site and saw that you have a post titled, "Contemplative moment" something I posted about this morning...almost using the same title! But I see your post is in reference to your nephew.
