Day 4 part 2

This is my last night here at the San Damiano Friary, and it does actually sadden me a bit. I have really enjoyed my time here and I certainly have a lot to thing about during the coming year. Good news for those of you who know about my impulsiveness: if I did decide that I wanted to join (which I haven't yet) I could not do so until the end of next year...so I have a lot to chew on.

As far as the rest of my adventures today, as soon as I posted the part 1 of this entry we went to the St. Francis friary to have dinner with the rest of the friars in Denver. It was actually really cool, there were two other men there who are in the process of discerning, both of whom are local...lucky them, they don't have a flight and three hour drive home tomorrow, lol. I did learn how to play cribbage, for the most part...it is a very involved game. Br. Augustine, Fr. Bill, and another priest whose name I can't recall, tried their best to teach Andy(one of the other discernees(sp?)) how to play.

Nothing else really except that night prayer tonight really was good and I am going to share what was in it, for those of you with a Christian prayer book, it is Night Prayer after Evening Prayer II:

...
"You will not hear the terror of the night
nor the arrows that flies by day,
nor the plague that prowls in the darkness
nor the scourge that lays waste at noon.

A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right,
you, it will never approach;
his faithfulness is buckler and shield.

...

Upon you no evil shall fall,
no plague approach where you dwell.
For you has he commanded his angels,
to keep you in all your ways.

They hall bear you upon their hands
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
On the lion and the viper you will tread
and trample the young lion and the dragon.

..."

I totally loved it!

Anywho, you can think about that little blurb as you fall asleep. Also, I will try to perhaps put a video post tomorrow, once i get home just to decompress :)

One Love, One God, One Way
