"We are called. We did not initiate the universal new monasticism. There is a new monasticism that calls the universal monk within us all. A force greater than ourselves draws us. We were called by Jesus through the Holy Spirit. It is an almost irresistible urging of the Spirit to a life beyond the status quo of any religion."
