A Package from the Mystic Monks!
...or, Carmelite Coffee from Wyoming. The editor of this blog recently heeded the encouragements of Fr. John Zuhlsdorf (of "What does the Prayer Really Say" blog-fame) and ordered two packages of Mystic Monk Coffee. This was done out of the necessity of preventing the dilatory effects of caffine withdrawal, as well as out of a desire to contribute something to a magnificent spiritual undertaking, that being the proposed Carmelite monastery which the friars are undertaking to build in the classic gothic style in the mountainous wilds of Wyoming. It is true that the coffee is a trifle more expensive that one might find in the store, yet its reputation is growing among conisseurs. I waited...waited upon the monks, with ever heightening anticipation. And then one day (Thursday, in fact)...
A package arrived. Pokey was there to meet it. "What could it be? And who do I know in Wyoming?" he thinks to himself.
Lots of paper to play with later is a good sign!
It's coffee, from the Mystic Monks! "Is there more paper?" thinks Pokey.
...
...
...
"No, no more paper," confirms Fumeé.
But lots of mystical smells!
Sniff-sniff...prrrrrrr!
Straight into the kitchen...
...and away to the Office!
Mystic Monk Coffee. "A Real Attention Grabber!"
Indeed, far from any sense of critical qualification, much less disappointment, the "Hermit Bold" coffee is one of the mose delicious cups I've ever brewed. No, I think it really is the best! 100% Arabica coffee, roasted by the monks themselves, and I even used a tablespoon less than I normally use, this time three tablespoons for one Bodum cafetiere, when I usually use four. How do the friars get their coffee so rich, full and even? Well...it's a Mystery, which is just the way I...just the way WE like it!

This is the time of the year when we are called to reflect on our mortality and, in this perspective, to set aside transitory goods for those goods that cannot be taken away from us. The Brothers of the Little Oratory in San Diego have been invited by Fr. Gismondi, pastor of St. Anne's, to sing the Gregorian propers and ordinary for the Mass of Ash Wednesday. On Ash Wednesday, the faithful are signed with the blessed ashes and hear the warning: Remember O man, that dust thou art, and to dust thou shalt return. Come and witness this most ancient ceremony.
