Thanks to C.W. for sending this in! Sometimes it’s pouring and there is nothing on the radar for some hundreds of miles. This must be a micro-climate where only donkeys and hobbits live… Looks like this donkey is wearing a Roman Collar!
That picture doesn’t tell the whole story of the hermitage. Here’s a picture I took the other evening, walking up the mountain and arriving to the hermitage after it was already dark. This is from about fifty feet away, still down the hill a bit.

Greetings from Jesus, from His Heart. The sanctuary candle is burning brightly now that I have it insulated properly.



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. 






Father, that is one the neatest pictures I have ever seen!
p.s. I made the children come over to the computer and see it too. What a blessing that is! It must have warmed your heart immeasurably to see that!
