The administrator speaks….

This website is designed to collate, organize and share the written thoughts and reflections of my brother in Faith – who took on the monastic name ‘Joseph of the Messiah’.

I will not go into personal details as to his own journey or degree of learning. Suffice to say he is a well educated man who is also fluent in Hebraic and Greek. He is a brother of the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance at Our Lady of Bethlehem Abbey, Portglenone, in his home land of Northern Ireland.

May these reflections help you to come to a closer relationship with and understanding of our Lord Jesus Christ.
