Invoking Ch1 P2 of RSB

This is what I have literally and deliberately done within the last year after an additional year dealing with pastoral concerns in areas outside the church in my capacity as a Druid (I was elected to the Druidic College of Caer Lud on St. Valentine's Day in 2002).

In the counsel of our Holy Father Benedict:

"The second kind are the anchorites or hermits:  those who, no longer in the first fervor of their reformation, but after long probation in the monastery, having learned by the help of many brethren how to fight against the devil, go out well armed from the ranks of the community to the solitary combat of the desert. They are able now, with no help safe from God, to fight single-handed against the vices of the flesh and their own evil thoughts."

As a Martinist, I was trained in preparation for and on vigilant watch for "the tests of the four elements and single combat with the dragon."  This is a different way of saying the same thing. 

It is to this point that my walk with God has brought me.  In full confidence of The Lord, I continue my journey.
