I will admit that we are learning ourselves what it is to be a hermit! But this much I can offer you, our life as hermits is modeled after the Eucharist. (Even our off-white habits look like the Eucharistic Host!) We aspire to be like the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament in three ways: we are silent like the Host, hidden like the Host, and we are for you like the Host. Just like Jesus comes on the altar and remains in the Blessed Sacrament for us, we have come to the desert for the Church, and the world yes, but very much for you. Basically, you now have two hermits as personal intercessors—specifically for you. Soon we will place a box in the back of the church to receive your intentions so that when you have something special you would like us to pray for you can let us know that way. (It it also might be good for you to know that we do not take a vow of silence and we are not under a vow of enclosure, so you can speak to us when you see us!)
So my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, we have already taken you to heart and to prayer. Please pray for us too! Thank you for welcoming us with open hearts!
