Beautiful Saturday
It's a week and a day out til my ordination. We're planning, getting the liturgy together, and I see a very good, authentic Mexican meal in our future, after. Mmmm. : ) We won't have our morning Eucharist that day, but have the Eucharist and ordination later in the day at 3 pm.
A couple of months ago, I inherited a stereo system, an older Fisher, that belonged to my great uncle when I was a kid. He added a Technics 5-cd changer to it. The amp was blown (thankfully not the speakers!), and it's been repaired. Time to go pick it up, hook it back up, and enjoy! The chants of monks, the music of J.S. Bach, and assorted kinds of rock will sound great on it.
I'm enjoying a beautiful Oklahoma Autumn day with my beautiful wife Shirley and our great God.
Blessings. Have a great weekend and good worship. Join us tomorrow for ancient-future worship if you're in the area.
under the mercy,

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!)
