Celtic Lay Monks Visit the Canadian Rockies
View of Lake Louise (Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada).
The most photographed spot in Canada, located in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, near the border with British Columbia.
This photo was taken when Lay Monk Preston and Lay Monk Linda traveled here, canoeing near the Glacier, riding horses around the lake and up a steep mountain trail to a Teahouse hidden deep in the woods. (A Photo of the Teahouse is posted in the Photo Carousel located further down this page.)
Their visit, and Lay Monk Linda’s runaway horse, are mentioned in Chapter 8.3 –Visiting the Canadian Rockies, of the book, Prayer as a Celtic Lay Monk: Learning from Celtic Christian Prayer.

“Agus beimid inár n-aoirí, ar do shonsa, a Thiarna, ar do shonsa,
tá cumhacht tagtha anuas ó do lámh, ionas go gcomhlíonadh ár gcosa do thoil go tapaidh. Sruthóimid ar aghaidh mar abhainn chugat, Agus plódaithe le hanamacha a bheidh sí go deo.”

SAyiNGS Of tHE dESERt fAtHERS (fAStiNG & HOSpitAlLty):
“We traveled from Palestine to Egypt to visit one of the Desert Fathers. He offered us hospitality.
We questioned him, ‘ Why do you not keep the fast when you have visitors? In Palestine they do.
He answered, I can always fast, but I do not always have you here.
It is useful and necessary to fast, but we can choose to fast or not. What God commands is perfect love.
I receive Christ in you, so I must do everything possible to serve you in love.
When you leave, I will continue my Rule of fasting.
‘The children of the Bridegroom cannot fast while the Bridegroom is with them; when He is taken away from them, then they will fast.'”
-Sayings of the Desert Fathers
