From the beginning of our monastic journey, we have held that beauty - be it in nature or through the work of human hands - is a path to the Divine. Beauty has the power to touch the soul directly, to evoke in the heart feelings of joy, exaltation, or sadness; to elevate the mind to spiritual matters, and to make the soul more receptive to things divine.
We firmly believe that human artistry is a divine gift, given by God that we might all come to know Him better. In creating beauty, we exercise and manifest an integral part of our nature. We were created in the image and likeness of God (Gen. 1:26-27).
At Holy Protection Monastery, we devote ourselves to a common life of prayer and work, for the praise, love, service of God, and for the upbuilding of His Kingdom - through the Arts. For men interested in the possibility of a vocation to the monastic life, we offer discernment retreats of up to a week in length throughout the year.

Meditation on Death by Thomas A Kepmis tranlated by Fr Nixon, OSB Published by Tan Books
Most people think that they have more time than they really do. We often qualify someone's death as "gone too soon." There is a reason that people often leave important things until later, as the author noted, which is why deathbed confessions take place.
Do you feel like you procrastinate in your spiritual life?
What are some things that you can do to become more aware of the reality and unknown timing of death and the things you should not leave "until later"?
Challenge for the Week
Go to confession and pray (after your penance of course) for a firm resolve to leave each day knowing that God could choose to bring you home at any moment.

If you have any questions please reach out to me at Moderndayhermits@gmail.com
Reflection Question:
Before you start reading the book, take a moment and think about how your views regarding death now.
Does it scare you or encourage you to live better on earth?
Challenge of the week:
Spend some time in mental prayer and ask God to give you grace to have a proper view of life, death, and eternity. Pay attention to the emotions that you feel when you are in prayer.
Pay attention to how your views and these emotions change throughout this series.

Pope St. Pius X: "To conclude this whole question of faith and its various branches, we have still to consider, Venerable Brethren, what the Modernists have to say about the development of the one and the other. First of all they lay down the general principle that in a living religion everything is subject to change, and must in fact be changed. In this way they pass to what is practically their principal doctrine, namely, evolution. To the laws of evolution everything is subject under penalty of death - dogma, Church, worship, the Books we revere as sacred, even faith itself." (Pascendi Dominici Gregis)

Lyrics...
The beauty of creation sings,
That God created everything.
Intelligence was behind the design;
Each thing created, according to its kind.
CHORUS
The negation of creation
Through the illusion of evolution,
Must stop… In the Name of God.
Must stop… In the Name of God.
Under the guise of empirical science,
Darwin hides anti-Christian bias.
But in the beginning, when God spoke,
Out of nothing all things He awoke.
CHORUS
“Molecules, then monkeys to man,”
The theory boasts against God’s plan.
But we are not a herd of cattle,
Children of God we are called to battle.
CHORUS
The wonder of creation conceals,
What God in Christ clearly reveals,
That we are His people, immortal each soul,
And only in Him can we reach our goal.
CHORUS
The beauty of creation sings,
That God created everything…

Avoiding Babylon was started during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. During these difficult and dark days, when most of us were isolated from family, friends, our parishes, and even the Sacraments themselves, this channel was started as a statement of standing against the tyrannical mandates that many of us were living under. Since those early days, this channel has morphed into an amazing community of friends…no…more than friends…Christian brothers and sisters…who have grown in joy and charity.
Avoiding Babylon does not criticize the hierarchy or institutional Church, especially Pope Francis. We recognize there is an unprecedented crisis in the Church, but we feel that there are other shows that address these issues that are more qualified than us. Instead, we try to remind ourselves and those who enjoy the channel that being Catholic is a joyful and exciting experience. We seek true Catholic fraternity and eutrapelia with other Catholics who, like us, are doing their best to live out their vocation with the help of God’s Grace. Above all, we try to bring humor and joy to the craziness of this fallen world, for as Hillaire Belloc has famously said:
“Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,
There’s always laughter and good red wine.
At least I’ve always found it so.
Benedicamus Domino!”
