Thankyou for this presentation and others intend to view. I am an Oblate in Canada however due to circumstances, I am connected to the Benedictine Daughters in the Divine Will. They were living in Italy and now in USA recently. It's a blessing I have daily communication and listening with the Benedictine Sisters and Priests via video, radio, podcasts, cenacles and email. My local Pastor heard my commitment and he is also very devoted to St Benedict. My prayer book comes from Glenstal Abbey in Ireland. This was very nice to connect with an Oblate today!! God bless and peace today and always...Fiat!
Hi. I love the Benedictine daily prayer book. I love the hours and knowing others pray the hours around the world and we are essentially praying together though miles and time zones apart. I heard the book is to be revised. If so any idea when it will be available? My name is Anthony and I am an oblate of Prinknash Abbey in England. Pax
Greetings brother I am an Oblate from the Sisters of Mount Saint Scholastica in Atchison Kansas. I am currently serving in the Peace Corps Morocco. Let us prefer nothing to the word of Christ.
Does there have to be a Benedectine monastery near where you live to become a Benedictine oblate? I don't believe there are any near me within driving distance.
No, one discerns which monestary they feel called to. Each monestary will have a particular charism within the Benedictine order that one will feel drawn to support in their life as a layperson
I live in East Elmhurst Queens NY. At first I was going to do an online novitiate with Sacred Heart Monastery's Benedictine Online Chapter. I decided to drive into NJ and do my novitiate with The Newark Abbey. Extremely happy I did. God bless.
Abbott Paul of Belmont Abbey UK was a child abuser when he was a house master of the old school there .He also Helped set up a Place in Peru where other Monks abused young men .
