Hey! Another Hermit praying for you. Very cool!

Hey! Another hermit! Very cool! Check out Brother Rex at Little Portion Hermitage. The blurb on top of his blog has this:

Little Portion Hermitage is a place of Christ-centered solitude, sacred silence, and intercessory prayer. Established for the glory of God and inspired by the example of St. Francis of Assisi, the hermitage is faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ found in their fullness among Churches in full communion with the See of Peter. The hermit residing at Little Portion is a person in Consecrated Life according to Canon 603, under the jurisdiction of the bishop of the Diocese of Portland, Maine.

Then, in his about page, he has this:

I am a hermit under the canonical jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Portland, Maine, in accordance with Canon #603 of the Code of Canon Law. The moments of my day are consecrated to God’s Glory and the salvation of the world. My prayers and penance are offered in a particular way for the many women and men in recovery from or still struggling to overcome addiction to alcohol, other drugs or other destructive behaviors. As I practice opening myself to love God with all my heart, I pray that you may receive the grace to do the same. Each of us is called to love God above all, and to love each other as we love ourselves. Please send your prayer requests and allow me the privilege of joining you in prayer before the Lord. By allowing me the opportunity to pray for you and with you, you stir into flame the call God has placed in my heart; a call given to me for His glory and the good of all the world. Holding you in my heart, I pray you peace and all good. I was an atheist until I realized that Catholics have more holidays.

Very awesome vocation before God and man. Thanks, Brother Rex!

  1. Good to know about Brother Rex. I know of another hermit, a friend, called S.T. The hermit of Birdstown in Kentucky.
    Trying to know if there are any hermitages in Africa, but have not known any yet!

  2. That could be it. I have known S.T. since 2010.
