Cafe For Life – geared just to raising money for ProLife and ProFamily foundations.

• Brazilian Roast – the award the Rio de Ginero specialty coffee award 1st class for quality in that country is amazing!
• The Life of a Monk :  

• 3am – the bell rings
• the 150 psalms in the week, a lot of monasteries don’t do this anymore.
• We have matins after that 
• then we go back to our cells and have a cup of coffee
• Lexi – reading scripture on our knees by candlelight 
• then we office of laws at 6am
• then Mental Prayer – no lights in the chapel and quiet time with Our Lord
• that ends with an aspiration
• then we have breakfast 
• then office of time at 7:45am 
• then more spiritual reading 
• then we do our morning duties or chores
• we do a meatless diet so we do lots of cheese and dairy
• we do perpetual abstinence of meat – we NEVER eat meat!
