Jesus made a path for us
We must walk it ourselves
Spiritual Formation
Are you yearning for something more profound in your spiritual journey? When “pop Christianity” leaves you unsatisfied, where do you turn? How do you passionately follow Jesus while avoiding the pitfalls of cults and toxic religion? If you’re disillusioned with the superficial aspects of modern church life, you’re not alone.
Throughout history, countless believers have sought the same answers, finding guidance in the rich traditions of the Christian faith. The Christian movement has been a source of wisdom, transforming lives, building healthy relationships, and equipping people to lead meaningful lives for centuries. But somewhere along the way, the core message got lost, leaving many to ask, “Where is God in all of this?” and “Why do we gather on Sundays?”
Driven by a deep hunger for a more authentic connection with God, we began exploring ancient spiritual practices that have stood the test of time. We’re reimagining what it means to live in Christian community, not by breaking away but by diving deeper.
This is the heart of our journey—a new kind of Monasticism. We’re a brotherhood and a sisterhood, embracing the spiritual practices that Jesus, Paul, Pachomius and countless others followed. These practices lead us to a life of obedience and unity with the Spirit of Christ.
As Dietrich Bonhoeffer once said, “The restoration of the church will surely come from a new kind of monasticism…a life of uncompromising adherence to the Sermon on the Mount in imitation of Christ.”
Join us as we seek to live out this vision, rediscovering the timeless practices that bring us closer to God and to one another.
Words from Ignatius in 1523AD
The goal of our life is to live with God forever. God, who loves us, gave us life. Our own response of love allows God’s life to flow into us without limit.
All the things in this world are gifts of God, presented to us so that we can know God more easily and make a return of love more readily.
As a result, we appreciate and use all these gifts of God insofar as they help us develop as loving persons. But if any of these gifts become the centre of our lives, they displace God and so hinder our growth toward our goal.
In everyday life then, we must hold ourselves in balance before all of these created gifts insofar as we have a choice and are not bound by some obligation. We should not fix our desires on health or sickness, wealth or poverty, success or failure, a long life or a short one. For everything has the potential of calling forth in us a deeper response to our life in God.
Our only desire and our one choice should be this: I want, and I choose what better leads to God’s deepening his life in me.
