The Secret Lives of Friars


So have you every wondered what Friars do on Vacation? A good Friend of mine is a CFR in New York. He is visiting "home" for a Youth 2000 Retreat. He is also the Godfather to middle kid, aged 6. We do very normal things with him when he visits, like treat him to his annual Starbucks drink. This year we went for a hike, to enjoy the beautiful day. Well, this is the Dear Brother showing the kids his very best Gandalf (he was yelling "you shall not pass" as well.)
Every year he shows a new trick to the kids, involving his habit, this year it was role playing, Gandalf, last year it was Obi Won. Any guesses for next year?
So THIS is what Friars do on vacation, they make kids laugh and mothers roll their eyes, but, everyone enjoys the Simple Joy of time spent together.
