Pustinjački život
Kad sam išao u otprilike treći ili četvrti razred, moj brat BJ i ja odlučili smo napraviti "OSP" - što je bila naša kodna riječ za "Naše posebno mjesto". Napravili smo tajnu čistinu u šumi gdje bismo išli pokraj potoka u ribolov, a drugi na brdu gdje bismo se pretvarali da živimo u prirodi i treći ispod stepeništa u podrumu gdje bismo pokušali pročitati cijelu Bibliju (nikada nismo dobili kroz Postanak.) Tu bih rekao da gledam unatrag prva naslućivanja Božje milosti koja me pozivaju u pustinjački život. Kanonski pustinjak prema kanonskom zakonu je:
U
Limenka. 603 §1. Pored instituta posvećenog života, Crkva prepoznaje i eremitski ili ankoritni život kojim kršćanski vjernici svoj život posvećuju hvaljenju Boga i spasenju svijeta kroz strože povlačenje iz svijeta, tišinu samoće i marljivu molitva i pokora.
U
§2. Pustinjak je zakonom priznat kao onaj koji je Bogu posvećen u posvećenom životu ako javno ili javno ispovijeda u rukama dijecezanskog biskupa tri evanđeoska savjeta, potvrđena zavjetom ili drugom svetom vezom, i poštuje li pravi program življenja pod njegovim vodstvom .
U
U toj mladoj dobi počeo sam se osjećati pozvanim u nekakav pustinjački život - neki život s povećanom molitvom i pokorom, tišinom i samoćom.
U
1999. godine, kada sam diplomirao na Sveučilištu Notre Dame, odlučio sam provesti godinu dana u Južnom Teksasu kao 'godinu razlučivanja' u pustinjaku. Život koji sam proveo šest mjeseci koliko sam ostao bio je život povećane tišine i samoće, molitve i rada i pokore. Gospodin me u to vrijeme stvarno počeo pozivati k sebi.
U
Iduće sam se godine (2000.-2001.) Vratio u svijet na misionarski način, volontirajući predavajući u pograničnoj školi u južnom Teksasu dok sam se pripremao za odlazak u istočni Sibir kako bih osnovao katoličku misiju s Društvom naših Dama Presvetog Trojstva. Tijekom dvije godine koliko sam živio u ovoj misiji u Rusiji (2001.-2003.) Veći dio mog života bio je odveden s molitvom i vremenima tišine i samoće. Od 2003. do 2011. provodio sam vrijeme podijeljeno između službe u misijama i razdoblja intenzivne samoće živeći i moleći se kao pustinjak. Od 2011. do 2014. živio sam kao službeni biskupijski pustinjak slijedeći pravilo koje sam napisao i odobrio moj biskup - i kojeg se nastojim pridržavati što je više moguće (u prilagođenom obliku) čak i nakon što sam se vratio u svijet s normalan posao. Bavila sam se misijskim radom i kći sam, sestra, tetka, dadilja ... ali moje je pravo srce pustinjačko i molim se da Gospodin pronađe način da mi se omogući povratak u ovaj život s punim radnim vremenom jednog dana.

Sljedeći podcastovi temeljito objašnjavaju moj pustinjački poziv, a slike ispod jednostavno daju isječak mog života u samoći s Bogom tijekom posljednjih 20+ godina.
