A very thoughtful benefactor of HSH has sent in 12 oz. of Hermits Bold Blend (Ground) Mystic Monk Coffee®. If such goodness and kindness were to continue, forcing such thoughtfulness on me despite all my protestations, it might be an idea to use Fr. Z’s link to our Carmelite friends out West. I’d put that link here, but I’m not sure how to do that and have some benefits of such a purchase redound to Fr. Z., so, for now, I’ll just put up this link to a recent post of his in which he put up a mention of this coffee, the purchase of which helps to build the monastery and hermitages of the great Carmelites…
Looking at the picture to the right, I’m wondering if I shouldn’t be making some sort of hermit’s habit. Just a thought…
“Hermits Bold Blend”… how appropriate! Coffee, I suppose, is a luxory, and maybe hermits shouldn’t have such things at all, but the way I look at it is this. I’m older now, and it helps me to think when I need to think! So, O.K.! Thanks, D.D.W.



Accompany me, Father George David Byers, S.S.L., S.T.D., as I begin life as a Catholic Priest-Hermit by choice. Holy Souls Hermitage is dedicated to the sanctification of my fellow priests, bishops, deacons & seminarians going through the purgatory of this life or the next. Prayer and sacrifice go up, of course, for both Benedict XVI and the next Successor of Saint Peter. 






Yum! I love their coffee and I love supporting these good monks!
