| Introduction | I am a Canonical Penitent Hermit of Divine Mercy in the Diocese of Banjul, The Gambia. As a hermit, my life is dedicated to prayer,contemplation and caring for the sick poor who come to the hermitage daily. My personal rule of life is an adaption of the first order rule of St. Francis of Assisi, thus I have become a beggar for the needs of the people who come to Nazareth hermitage seeking medical help and also for the Catholics in this (mainly Muslim) village in order to help them grow in their walk with Christ. You can really help by sending medical supplies/medicines or money donations for the sick poor; spiritual books for hermitage use or DVD's that can be shown to the Christian community. If you would like to assist in any way, contact me at brotherdismas@yahoo.com God bless you!

I also love real old and new Gospel music and Gregorian chant |
