Years ago, I was inside the monastery and I was living a very simple, austere kind of lifestyle...
I was a perpetually professed monk when I literally left the cloister in January 11, 2010..
I still remember, I joined the monastery as postulant in year 2002.
From then on, I lived inside the cloister, faced the life of a monk, lived the life of a monk with monastic vows of stability to the community, obedience to the superior of the community and a continuous conversion of life with emphasis on chaste celibacy and perseverance to the challenges and demands of being a member of the Religious....
It is indeed God's mystery that brought me to this stage in life when such vow of conversion of life has greatly helped and saved me from the fangs of evil amid the challenges and demands of a lay kind of life in the world of men!...
I am still into conversion of life even though outside the cloister. I am still very much into being chaste and celibate despite the growing perversion around me and I am still into perseverance towards answering God's call to piety and holiness.
