drewmeister2 Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Have any of you men discerning ever thought you might be called to be a hermit? I have never heard of anyone else talk about it. I myself am now discerning a possible call to be a hermit. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureSoror Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I always liked the story of St. Simon Stock, who was a hermit, and I used to think about what it would be like to be one... but then again, I'm not a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveybe Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 A homeschooling family in my parish told me that their daughter wants to be a hermit. The little girl is in fourth grade, and she built a hut out of cardboard in the woods behind their house. Ain't that the cutest thing ya ever heard?

Pio Nono Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 JMJ 12/20 - Fourth Monday of Advent I know a hermit who lives out near St. Meinrad in southern Indiana. He's a Benedictine monk who has been given permission to live as a hermit, taking care of one of the shrines run by St. Meinrad. Cool cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewmeister2 Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 Neat things to hear! Do they have female hermits? Obviously, if the Church does, they wouldn't be with men.
