…the monks and nuns gathered and frolicked with guests at 2PM on a happy 4th of July in the monastery grounds of the sisters of our Lady of the Desert !
monks have their great day -OFF today.... with the observance of the anniversary celebration of the 4th of July, the nuns are cooking for them in a picnic banquet to be held at their monastery grounds....
the images will show you how the monastics lifted their vow of Silence, suspended their contemplative images and set aside their 'i-snub-you-when-eat-at-main-meal' practice:

wow kainan na naman....
Pareng Dom, Pa cute ka na naman hehehe.
Ang lalaki naman ng "Hot Dogs" nyo LOL
are the nuns' convent near your place? or do you actually live with them in the same compound? It really puzzles me.. why are there always nuns in your refectory during the "Monastery"? do they eat at the same refectory as you monks?
sino naman kapatid yung nakataas ang kamay? don't tell me si beverly salviejo yun? hahaha
ba may day off din pala kayo ha...daming food....buti pa dyan may happening...dito sobrang init...not really in the mood watch the fireworks so we did some errands tapos sa bahay na lang ulit.

-actually, the nuns live a hundred meters away from the monks. they have their own cloister building- pero mas maliit kasi siyam lang sila lahat- may two bedroom-trailer house sila as their guesthouse that fits to two guests at a time only. they conduct their own Divine Offices in their small chapel but join the monks on Sunday Mass and First Sunday of the month recreation. they also join the monks in banquets during special occasions in the liturgical year like feasts and solemnities of saints, Christmas, and anniversary foundation- also, they join us in our celebration od the Holy Eucharist and banquets for monks' ordinations, Simple Vow Professions and Solemn Vow Professions.
as of now-they have found a new target location in CHama town- so they can move out and start to live apart from us.for some time-they have become so identified with us- dependent from our finances, all done by the monks all for the sake of Charity!.....
