Hermit's Vow copied from a blog...

The idea of being a hermit seems interesting but is this lifestyle only for religious ascetics of one kind or another, Hindu, Buddhist or Christian Monks?



"I am a hermit under the canonical jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of ____,___, in accordance with Canon #603 of the Code of Canon Law. 
The moments of my day are consecrated to God’s Glory and the salvation of the world. 
My prayers and penance are offered in a particular way for the many women and men in recovery from or still struggling to overcome addiction to alcohol, other drugs or other destructive behaviors. 
As I practice opening myself to love God with all my heart, I pray that you may receive the grace to do the same. 
Each of us is called to love God above all, and to love each other as we love ourselves. 
Please send your prayer requests and allow me the privilege of joining you in prayer before the Lord. 
By allowing me the opportunity to pray for you and with you, you stir into flame the call God has placed in my heart; a call given to me for His glory and the good of all the world. 
Holding you in my heart, I pray you peace and all good.

I was an atheist until I realized that Catholics have more holidays."
