\u2022 Lowly monk duties as a kitchen worker, and shoe cobbler\u00a0(no standing or education to be a leader, priest, or cleric)<\/p>\n
\u2022 Lived in a barefooted monastic order<\/p>\n
\u2022 Said he did not enjoy religious\u00a0routines (bit odd to admit for a monk, b\/c this is their lifestyle)<\/p>\n
\u2022 He sought continual communion and delight in the awareness of the presence of God<\/p>\n
\u2022 Believed in the grace of God more than anything else<\/p>\n
\u2022 His piety and devotion was so transforming and noticeable, religious leaders, young monks, and outsiders sought out his secrets and counsel<\/p>\n
\u2022 At his funeral his sweetness and character were so exceptional that his letters of\u00a0correspondence\u00a0and remembrances of his conversations were gathered, read, and preserved for posterity\u2013otherwise his life would have been forever lost in obscurity<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
