RIP Rodney, we miss you but so glad to have this precious talk, and wonderful memories of so many meetings and much joy! A true believer and a gentle man.
Thank you Father Thompson from Oregon, USA. As a former Evangelical/Pentacostal but first Baptist(fun youth group), but now Catholic at Easter Vigil 2020, I am floored how big and wide and rich and dynamic the RCC and church history is. I love visiting Mt. Angel now a lot. May I have the honor to befriend a hermit and his wisdom.
Hi Jon, welcome to the Catholic Church, Rodney hasn't much of a social media presence at the moment (this video was recorded and posted by a friend of a friend at the talk) but I will pass on your comment when I next see him. Though he lived in a monastery for some time, Rodney was never ordained as a Priest. Late Oct/Nov is a good time to pray for the souls in purgatory. All the best, Brian H
What an interesting journey, Jon. I wish you every blessing and direction from the Holy Spirit as you've sought after our Lord so faithfully and fervently.
Thank you for this. Very much enjoyed listening. May I ask you which monastery you were a member of? I'm an oblate of Prinknash Abbey and have a great interest in the eremitic life and the writings of the desert fathers. Pax
