“A monk is he who directs his gaze towards God alone, and who, being at peace with God, becomes a source of peace to others.” (St. Theodore the Studite) In this time of physical and spiritual war, it is clear there is no way to peace; peace IS the way. Be a monk, be at peace and be a source of peace to others.

“You greatly delude yourself and err, if you think that one thing is demanded from the layman and another from the monk. The Holy Scriptures do not know any distinctions. They enjoin that all lead the life of monks.” (St. John Chrysostom) “The monastic state, taken in what is essential, does not constitute a particular form of existence on the borders or at the side of Christianity; it is the same Christianity offered to all.” (Abbot Columba Marmion OSB) In other words, you don't have to be a monk to live like one. Growing a beard is good first step.

Perfect tee for the Irish of blood and Irish of heart! Our father among the saints Patrick of Ireland, Bishop of Armagh and Enlightener of Ireland, was born a Briton. Captured and brought to Ireland as a slave, he escaped and returned home. Later, he returned to Ireland, bringing Christianity to its people. His feast day is March 17. "I bind unto myself today The strong name of the Trinity, By invocation of the same, The Three in One and One in Three." - St. Patrick’s Breastplate aka The Deer’s Cry (Faeth Fiada)

The Jerusalem cross, also known as the Crusaders' cross or among Catholic youth as the "Search Cross", is a Christian symbol consisting of a large Greek cross surrounded by four smaller Greek crosses, one in each quadrant. This simpler form of the cross was on the papal banner given to the Crusaders by Pope Urban II for the First Crusade, and was a symbol of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. The four smaller crosses are said to symbolize either the four books of the Gospel or the four directions in which the Word of Christ spread from Jerusalem. Alternately, all five crosses can symbolize the five wounds of Christ during the Passion.

The St. Benedict Holy Rule Tee is the front side of the St. Benedict Medal-Cross. In St. Benedict's right hand he holds the cross of eternal salvation and in his left hand is his “Rule for Monasteries”. On a pedestal to the right of St. Benedict is the poisoned cup, shattered when he made the sign of the cross over it. On a pedestal to the left is a raven about to carry away a loaf of poisoned bread that a jealous enemy had sent to St. Benedict. “The Cross of our holy father Benedict. May we be strengthened by his presence in the hour of our death!”
