I live on my own in an apartment in central Bangkok. A good friend and I named it Mother of Good Counsel Apartment. My community is both nourishing and diverse. It is made up of good friends from Caritas, from the faith community I share in and from the urban refugees I have come to know after so long. I might live on my own but here I have come to value and appreciate ever more deeply being an Augustinian.

Prayer from the community

A prayer of St. Theresa of Avila

Govern everything by your wisdom, O Lord, so that my soul may always be serving you in the way you will and not as I choose. Let me die to myself so that I may serve you; let me live to you who are life itself. Amen.
