Christian SeniorsIntroducing, my friend, Brother Boniface (Bro. Bon) who is a monk living in Germany! I've read his Monks Do Not Retire Blog for some times now.. since he asked me to make a blog for him! Check out his blog, he has lots more out there! I hope you enjoy his wise words and insight as I post them to this site! If you have questions, you can write them under any post on his blog below! He'd love to help you!
As a monk I never really can retire. There is always a need in a large community of over 90 monks for some helping hands, or flexible minds or finally for praying hands and heart. So - no time to retire. HOWEVER, there are all kinds of way to slow down, watch the sunset, tend the roses, make someone smile who is frustrated or unhappy and to be there when there is a need for a listening heart. I lived most of my life in Nebraska, some six years in Mtwara, Tanzania, East Africa as missionary. Then there was a short stint in Rome on the Aventine at Sant Anselmo and finally I am back where I started Muensterschwarzach Abbey in Bavaria, Germany. Writing gives me a much needed boost like to be needed yet somehow since we all have our questions, worries and frustrations in life. So if I can help there it makes my day! ... More coming soon!
