Community of Divine Love

“Love must act as light must shine and fire must burn.”
- Fr. James Huntington, OHC

We are a monastic community dedicated to prayer and prison ministry located in Oceano, California

"Through us, the Universal Christ can build a human church of the people that nurtures a real love that springs from compassion and forgiveness whose heartbeat is the very heartbeat of God within us, and nothing less. Living life in this awareness can be our answer to our brother Jesus’ question: “Who do you say that I am.” And in doing so we just might discover who we really are."

"I was in prison and you visited me."

"In 2004 I went to a monastery in Massachusetts and fell in love with the life of monastics. I found there a pattern of living that focused on loving God first above all else. Soon after I sold all my belongings and moved to California."
