The monks who founded our Hermitage looked long and hard to find just the right place to build. In keeping with our Camaldolese tradition, they looked for a remote place, deep in the wilderness, surrounded by God’s beauty. They certainly found it here on the Big Sur coast of California. Many monks and tens of thousands of retreatants and visitors have found peace, renewal, and God here on this mountain. This beauty and isolation come with a price. The meeting of land and sea means the coastline is active, with buildings and roads affected by the shifting landscape and the heavy rains we get here. Brother Emmanuel works hard to maintain our two- mile, winding road from Highway 1 to the Hermitage. However, the shifting land and the rains have played havoc with our road, and it is beyond our ability to repair it. Four sections of the road are in especially poor condition, as our pictures show. We have been able to raise $92,000 towards a total of $130,000 needed to complete the repairs.

HYNES JERRY SCHMETTERER District Attorney Director of Public Information Contact: (718) 250-2300 Media Release for June 19, 2008 KINGS COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY CHARLES J. HYNES ANNOUNCES INDICTMENT OF ENGINEER WHO CAUSED FRAUDULENT PLANS TO BE FILED WITH DEPARTMENT OF BUILDINGS Brooklyn, June 19, 2008 – Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes and Department of Investigation Commissioner Rose Gill Hearn today announced the indictment of Abraham Hertzberg, for causing fraudulent plans to be filed with the Department of Buildings in connection with an application for permits to excavate at 791-793 Glenmore Ave, a job site where a building collapse would later kill a laborer. Hertzberg, 84, is charged with Nine Counts of Offering a False Instrument for Filing in the First Degree. If convicted, he faces up to three years in prison for each count. The indictment charges that in 2005, William Lattarulo hired an architect to design plans to build a laundromat at 791-793 Glenmore Ave, in East New York, Brooklyn. The architect in turn subcontracted the excavation portion of the designs to Hertzberg who is a professional engineer with Sanchez Associated. However, Hertzberg, who had previously lost his authority to self-certify architectural designs, used a stamp belonging to his partner, Luis Sanchez, to certify them in Sanchez’s name. He also placed Sanchez’s signature on several documents filed in support of Lattarulo’s applications for building permits. At the time of the incident, Sanchez was recovering from a severe brain injury and lacked the physical ability to review or certify architectural designs.

  • SAINT BRUNO AS SEEN by HIS CONTEMPORARIES a Selection of Contributions to the Funeral Parchment
    SAINT BRUNO AS SEEN BY HIS CONTEMPORARIES A Selection of Contributions to the Funeral Parchment TRANSLATED BY A CARTHUSIAN MONK N INTRODUCTION Bruno the hermit Bruno was born around the year 1030 in the city of Cologne, Germany. After studies at the cathedral school there, he was promoted to be a canon of the Church of Saint Cunibert. To complete his studies he moved to Rheims, in France, to the famous cathedral school there. In 1059, not yet thirty years old, he was promoted to the post of direc- tor of studies and chancellor. At about the same time he is appointed a canon of the Cathedral of Rheims. During a period of twenty years Bruno is responsible for the in- tellectual formation of the elite of his time. He gets acquainted with many people who will occupy important positions in Church and so- ciety later on. His disciples hold him in high esteem and will remain grateful for the deep formation they received under his guidance, not only intellectual but also spiritual. However, his time, like ours, is a time of contradictions and radi- cal changes. To stand up against corruption in the Church, the Popes call for a reform ‘in head and members’. Bruno does not keep aloof from this reform, but with several fellow canons firmly makes his stand against his own Archbishop, Manassès, when it becomes clear that the latter is only after power and pursuit of gain. To get his re- 1 venge, the Archbishop expels Bruno from the Diocese. He is only able to return when Manassès is finally deposed by the Pope himself.

N&V Matthew Levering Mundelein Seminary Mundelein, IL Aquinas at Prayer: The Bible, Mysticism and Poetry by Paul Murray (New York: Bloomsbury, 2013), xii + 274 pp. News of Paul Murray’s publications always promises edification and delight, and Aquinas at Prayer delivers. It picks up on Jean-Pierre Torrell’s seminal study, Saint Thomas Aquinas, which, toward the beginning of volume 2, quotes Étienne Gilson: “[the Summa Theo- logiae’s] abstract clarity, impersonal transparency, crystallizes before our very eyes [Thomas’s] interior life” (cf. 16). For Murray, the student and devotee of Thomas need not stop at defending his lapidary prose or expositing his spiritual brilliance. One can boldly aim for “a direct way of gaining access” to his very interior life. To that end, Aquinas at Prayer looks at Thomas’s prayers and biblical commentaries and their expression of heartfelt desire and poetic grace. Part I, “Aquinas: man of prayer,” begins by considering “The inte- rior life of a ‘mystic on campus’” (chap.
