A moment to reflect on the beauty going back to our Jewish heritage of saying the psalms daily.

I had the privilege to interview Abbot Jeremias Schröder for an @LCStBen podcast (my first!). He was frank, engaging and an inspiration. His calling as a Benedictine monk shows the enduring nature of the Benedictine vocation - in 2029 it will be 1500 years old!

Blog Number Six! In light of our recent meet-ups for St Benedict Week, today's post sees Geoff O'Donoghue exploring the nature of spiritual communion, and the importance of communion and Benedictine holy space in a time of crisis. Go to lcsb.uk/blog to read it!

Boris Johnson told “jokes” about breaking lockdown rules. You might remember he told the public he had no knowledge of rules being broken.

I feel huge relief in the knowledge that the innate decency of the American people is triumphing over the desperation of the dystopian Trump world. Next step is for Republicans to disavow the ugly years since he led an insurrection against democracy #Midterms2022results
