Remembering today the Camaldolese Monks of Monte Corona of Holy Family Hermitage in Bloomingdale, Ohio, on this Feast Day of St. Romuald. The Monte Corona monks were founded as a Camaldolese reform by Bl. Paul Giustiniani in 1520. The Camaldolese themselves were founded by St. Romuald in 1023. Pray for holy vocations for these dedicated men of God.
O God, Who chose St. Romuald to renew the eremitic life in Your Church,
give us the strength to deny ourselves in order to follow Christ in the way of the Cross
and to go up with Him into the glory of Your reign.
Through Jesus Christ Your Son, Who is God and Who live and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, world without end.
Amen.

I had the opportunity to spend some time on a retreat at Holy Family Hermitage and I can honestly say it was one of the most wonderful places I’ve ever been. The hermitage just oozes both tranquility and spirituality and for anyone considering an eremitic vocation Holy Family Hermitage should certainly be visited. – See more at: //vocationblog.com/2014/06/vocational-discernment-at-mater-redemptoris/#comments
