Monks in the city

Monks in the city is a group I became familiar with through my friend Pierre. In Paris, there are a group of young people who work regular jobs/careers during the day and in the evening and morning share prayer and meals together. This morning while on my prayerful walk/jog, I just was thinking about how hectic life is and that I often want to join a monastery and just pray. However, as quickly as the next step came this thought as if a message from God "take action" live fully do not hide. So alas, I shall remain a monk in the city and work, and pray, and take action. Tonight I shall visit the poor through the vocation with the St. Vincent de Paul Society.
