Brother Charles Gilbert, OMI

Many quotes and passages have stuck with me along life's journey to now. From May 5th, 1944 to May 5th, 2016 is a long stretch. At age 72 there is an amalgamation of many witnessings, lessons, teachings, reflections and sharings. Sister Edith has reminded me that we live in a busy whirlwind environment of things to do, of expectations demanding response, of tasks to perform and obligations to fulfill. She and my 12 step program tell me that without a commitment to some time of solitude we are in danger of being swallowed up in the hurricane of activity. We may even lose touch with our center, our identity as children of God and our call to live our baptismal promise to witness, to worship and to serve.

"A Brother is a man committed to living the Consecrated Life in response to a call from God. Brothers are engaged in a variety of ministries in keeping with the charism of their congregation and model the person of Jesus through the relational manner in which they serve." I've been involved in many ministries through the years and performed many tasks. Some have been very rich and profound. I've tended boilers and fed communities and shrine pilgrims. I've even made wedding cakes and taught in the Deaf Community about God and Jesus.
