Silent Servants...

... of the Used, Abused, and Utterly Screwed Up.

A Secular Franciscan looks at the world...
with a more jaundiced eye than ever...
and lots of ellipses for you to fill in the missing text...

A new work for today

"In time of desolation never to make a change; but to be firm and constant in the resolutions and determination in which one was the day preceding such desolation, or in the determination in which he was in the preceding consolation. Because, as in consolation it is rather the good spirit who guides and counsels us, so in desolation it is the bad, with whose counsels we cannot take a course to decide rightly."
- St. Ignatius of Loyola - Spiritual Exercises - For Perceiving and Knowing in Some Manner the Different Movements which are Caused in the Soul - The Good, to Receive Them, and the Bad to Reject Them. And They Are More Proper for the First Week. Rule 5
