where God, concerned Christian people and the raw sides of life come

revival and holistic transformation
The Rule of St.
Benedict: Announcing the Hours for the Work of God
It is in the abbot’s care to announce, day and night, the hour for
the Work of God. He may do so
personally or delegate the responsibility to a conscientious brother, so
that everything may be done at the proper time.
At The Farmhouse,
we are seeking a balanced life and a balanced practice.
We are not seeking a pseudo-intellectualism, where rationality takes
the place of feelings; nor are we seeking an emotionalism, where decisions
are made and “facts” are created on the basis of a gut feeling or reaction.
For the first kills the spirit and the second kills the mind.
Rather, we are seeking life in the Spirit, that which pervades all
aspects of life, be it the pursuit of knowledge, the emotions, or the days
work, that the Work of God may be done at its proper time.
