Aidan
Friday, August 31st is the Feast of Aidan. Of course, we're going to move his observance to the next day, on Sunday.
I'm going to make Irish Stew, bring out more green candles, and have plenty of Guinness on hand. We'll have Eucharist, then lunch and fellowship. We'll probably have to add some Celtic music to our worship. It's going to be a fun Celtic Sunday! :)
If you're in the area, you're welcome to join us.

About Me
- Father Francis Robert
- I am an evangelical Anglican priest and monk, musician, and radio man--I have committed my life to the Lord Jesus Christ, our great God and Savior. My wife Shirley and I and our bird Abbey Ruth live in a house, Mercy House, our hermitage (monastic house), in Warr Acres (northwest Oklahoma City), and I have a daughter, Cheyenne. I am concerned about things ancient Church and monastic, and I am a priest in The Communion of the Holy Trinity, a jurisdiction of the Church in the evangelical Anglican tradition--the ancient apostolic Church, when she was one and undivided and called catholic, as she grew in the British Isles. Our parish, Chapel of St. Francis, meets in our home. The monastic order I'm part of, The Order of St. John the Beloved, is a Franciscan monastic order of The Communion of the Holy Trinity. We are "convergence" or "three streams" -- a blending of evangelical, sacramental/liturgical, and Spirit-filled--the life of the Holy Spirit, the elements of belief, practice, and worship of the ancient Church. These elements, rediscovered and allowed to be as they were in the early Church, makes for a balanced, relevant Church today.
Beautiful sunset..............we enjoy the Creation.

Alleluia! Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us! Therefore let us keep the feast! Alleluia!

Behold the Lamb of God! Behold Him Who takes away the sins of the world!
Happy are those who are called to His Supper! (I have consecrated, and present Christ in the Eucharist for the first time!)
