Welcome to Benedictines of HeartSong Hermitage
Heartsong Hermitage began in the woodlands of Virginia. Over time other women seeking eremitc, solitary and contemplative lives joined in the life of a Benedictine Hermit.
Ultimately, it is the power of God that makes us one.
Each of us is a mixture of splendid possibilities
and dismal limitations.
May we be filled with the joy of knowing that the One
who began a good work in
each of us will be faithful to complete it.

Father, we ask forgiveness and enlightenment when we condemn those we don't understand.
We ask forgiveness and guidance for assuming to know all their is to know about each other, for defining, confirming, limiting, labeling, conditioning, interpreting and oppressing each other.
We ask forgiveness for excluding, withholding, insisting and resisting the inclusiveness of your love.
Amen.

Verse of the Day
When, each day, you rise from your bed, remember that you will give an accounting to God for your every deed, for your every word, as well as for your every thought. Thus, you will not sin before God; rather, fear of Him will dwell with you. ~ Abba Isaias.
