Please pardon the dust!

Hello,

Welcome to my new blog, Monkly Musings -- whether you've come over from my old blog The Path of Life or just stumbled upon this one by chance. If the former is the case, you may have noticed that I had not been posting much of anything the last few years. So, a "refresh" was certainly in order!

The Path of Life blog began, really, in 2011 as an outgrowth of my work at Abbey Press' Path of Life Publications. I have not worked at Abbey Press since 2014 -- in fact, sadly, the entire operation ceased in 2017. These last 11 years have largely been dedicated to my work as secretary to the Archabbot, so I did not have as much time to devote to the blog. Having recently been relieved of those responsibilities, I hope (God willing) to devote more time to writing (including this blog) and my ministry of spiritual direction.

In the meantime, my old blogs, both Path of Life and before that The Yoke of Christ (2008-11) will each remain accessible, but nothing new will be posted on those sites. Also, Monkly Musings remains a work in progress. There are still design and content elements I would like to add to the site, so I appreciate your patience until things are fully up and running!

PAX -- Br. Francis
