Benedictine Spirituality, Spiritual Values of a Benedictine Oblate - by Maxwell Johnson, Ph.D. 

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!

A very nice presentation! I'm an oblate of Clear Creek Abbey in Hulbert, Oklahoma.

Thank you Max for this lovely presentation. I hope you are doing well and staying safe.

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

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.

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 .
