LOL! Suggestions open at Holy Souls Hermitage blog for a seminarian’s attempt at a hermitage in the forest next to his seminary: HAH!

PCJ hermitage 1

I suppose it’s only right that yours truly of Holy Souls Hermitage should be asked for advice about how to fix up a good hermitage. Judging from what seems to be mid-day shadows, his hermitage is already pointed ad orientem. So, that’s a great start.

This what my hermitage looked like when I started:

He’s called for suggestions about how he could improve his hermitage. Any ideas?

Also, have you encouraged vocations today?

    He will have to make it a bit more weatherproof!

    It looks like he has the will…but does he have the way? Only God knows for sure. God bless.

    They don’t teach this in the seminary? Here are some suggestions which may, for the seminarian version, be a good place to start:

    Dismas: another thing they don’t do in the seminary, but should, even if it is a bit RAF-like, is this:

    That reminds me of my time at the Josephinum seminary. I built a similar lean-to hermitage in the woods there! So peaceful :)

    I had the great honor and good fortune of receiving Holy Communion from a Josephinum seminarian and listen to him share his vocation journey at my local parish on the feast of the Epiphany a couple of Sundays ago. I have no doubt he the other Josephinum seminarians will be prepared to face the challenges presented by Tough Muddler and any other rigors sent their way. Oohrah.

    The seminarians at St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary in Boynton Beach, FL actually competed in the Tough Mudder down here in FL a couple of months ago!
