​When did you first feel called to religious life? Do you remember a specific place? A person? 
​
Very early--I must have been around 9. I watched religious movies about Jesus or the bible.

What's something fun / something you enjoy about living in community?  
​

I like that all the brothers have very different personalities from mine. Their interests, sense of humor, and passion for any given topic is refreshing. 

 

What is the best kept secret / most underrated aspect of the Tradition and Spirituality of Augustine?  
​

I would have to say the writings of Augustine, especially on the scriptures, his view on interiority and how to get close to God. 

   

Do you have a hobby / passion that you enjoy spending time on?  
​

I am currently reading the Bible and applying Augustine's scripture interpretation criteria, plus reading his other books on the Psalms of David, Christian Doctrine, and other commentaries.
