Unfortunately, today the ascetical part of our spiritual life does not have many admirers, still less, followers. Many would like to reach the peak of perfection in a very short time, without any mortification or self-denial. To them it seems that love is all that is needed because it is the bond of perfection. What they say is correct but incomplete — they do not fully understand how many sacrifices are demanded by Christian love. We cannot really love God and our brothers if we do not die to ourselves. In order to love perfectly God and our neighbor, we must practically give up many things and accept many sacrifices. Love asks for courageous and generous sacrifices! “Love must hurt us,” said Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
— from the Concluding Conference

Welcome to Holy Family Hermitage, embodiment of the Camaldolese Hermits of Monte Corona in the United States, virtually present before you.Please pause a moment to pray with us the Collect of St. Romuald, founder of Camaldoli:

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.
By the example of St. Romuald, confirm us in Your Service, Lord,
and bring to completion in us,
until the day of Christ,
the work of salvation that You have begun.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
