Welcome to my new blog! This is also my FIRST experience blogging, so we'll see how it goes. I hope I can keep it up to date!
I am a diocesan priest of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis who is entering a monastery. This August, I shall be entering St Benedict's Abbey in Atchison, Kansas. Currently, I am in the application process, which makes me think that perhaps I should have waited before creating this blog. What if they don't accept me? Then I will be a priest without a parish and without a monastery! I'm sure my archbishop will have work for me to do!
I have entitled this blog "Musings from the Monastery." I shall use it to offer reflections about my experience and commentaries about the world and world events. This is essentially what I do when I (used to) write articles for my parish bulletin. Here, in viewing the world from the lens of monastic life, I wonder what I shall see. This will also give you a glimpse into the life of monks, which I think is helpful to keep our eyes fixed on God and Eternity, somethings monks try to do every day.
Stay tuned!

Fr. Jay, Congratulations on your new adventure! We are former parishioners of yours from St. Joseph's. You've been such a wonderful pastor, I'm sure you'll do many great things for God as a monk. I look forward to reading your blog. We'll keep you in our prayers, please remember us in yours. Best wishes from the Adricula Family
