Welcome
My beloved friends, I welcome you to this cyber space offering you a BLESSING which I hope you will treasure and enjoy for a long time. With the song you hear in the background I invite you to “come and climb the mountain to see the Lord.” The lead voice is of Meneka (Perera)……… who sang for my song CDs many years ago as a little child; the music is played by Rookantha Goonatileka and friends. You can enjoy all my songs (hymns) in the “Song” section of this website. The translations are also there.
As a Benedictine (O.S.B.) monk-priest I would like to invite everyone to come join me and my confreres in our daily pursuit of prayer (contemplation) and work (apostolate). Let us keep the conversation, conversion and communion ongoing as we interact to help one another to reach our goal of seeking God and enjoying Heaven.
I offer you a special treat with my expertise on the Holy Shroud of Jesus (Shroud of Turin). If you read my book you would get a lot of insights into the whole story and mystery of the Shroud; and besides, most of your questions will have answers. In case you still have more to ask, please, do not hesitate to log on to my blog or use the email and other means at our disposal to communicate.
In order that this website promotes God’s glory and praise, totally, I dedicate it to Mary Immaculate, Mother of God and our Mother; to St. Joseph our Heavenly Protector; St. Michael the Archangel; St. Benedict and St. Sylvester; St. Scholastica and St. Therese; to all our Patron Saints and to our Guardian Angels.
Enjoy and be blessed! Praised be Jesus Christ Our Lord & Savior!
