About Mark:
Mark came to the Center of Light when it first opened, searching for a Christian community that had real integrity and purity and reflected the ideals that he had read about in his research on the early Franciscan Order.  He has been delightfully surprised by the community that has sprung up relatively quickly, in which he is finding sisters and brothers who are humbly growing in love and connection to God and each other.  Here is what he writes.   

I rarely find myself typing up blogs, in fact I had often protested against such impersonal ways of communication in the past.  The center of light has brought many blessings, if I could use that word, in helping me to understand the many parameters and ways of being by exposure to astrology and other deep mystic principals.  However it has given more to me than satisfying the curiosity and thirst of my mind, it has created for me the space where my higher self could learn and grow, to dare to be rather than just to do.  The sharing with many special priests and community members has created a much desired curse in my life of exposing and challenging many personal areas of much needed growth, with that I find relief in my soul in knowing that this life will be more than a an illusionary pursuit of material and social accomplishments in which so many around me seem to call life.  Despite mixed feelings I had in the beginning I feel I have found the order I have been looking for to challenge me in this small moments journey.
