The Church of Our Saviour
Benedictine prayer having found its roots in a monastic way of life is rooted in Judeo-Christian tradition. This form of prayer is based on the life of St Benedict who lived during the 5th / 6th century and formed a Rule for a way of life that has been followed both within the monasteries of the world, as well as by many outside these walls and living within the world. It is here where we hope to share in a larger community participating in this monastic form of a daily life: prayer – worship - study – work.
Dewey Weiss Kramer, PhD., Author, University Professor and well known Benedictine Scholar who travels the world to deliver workshops and lead retreats on the subject of St Benedict and others who have practiced this “monastic” way of life, both in the monasteries and within every day life will participate throughout the Saturdays by way of teaching about the Rule of St Benedict as well exploring ways for us to bring the monastery to the world.
Saturdays mornings
9:30 – 10:00 / Benedictine morning prayer
10:00 / Holy Eucharist
10:30 – 12:30 / work & study
1:00 – shared meal
Life is unified and made sacred. A Benedictine spirituality, like any gospel-based way of life, is a living recognition that God is present, as seen and experienced through Jesus Christ our Lord. We too seek the sacred, internal transformation of individuals, families, and we pray communities. This practice of humility, recognizing this prayer life as the “Work of God”, takes us outside of ourselves, seeks to bring us all closer within the kingdom, experience the power, and participate in the glory forever and ever.
…join us in this rhythm of life
