Accidental Monk
A Chronicle of Struggle, Faith, and Surrender
Description:... In mid-March 2020-as the Covid-19 pandemic was beginning to spread-Wil Hernandez unexpectedly found himself stranded in an unlikely place: a Benedictine Abbey in the southern Philippines that was destined to be his home for the next two and a half months. There, in the company of twelve monks, he became immersed in the rhythm of monastic life, which challenged and sustained him amidst the uncertainties of the time. This diary chronicles his experiences during an interlude that forced him to face his evolving perspectives on spirituality, theology, ministry, and community.
