The wisdom of Saint Benedict ⛰️⛪⚜️✝️ is completely timeless. He must have experienced 😌🕯️📿 so many of these issues and instances in the common life. To pray and work 🪚🔨 in the stability of the community requires deep understanding, humility, self-knowledge and love. Living in proximity 🌾🍇🫒 for extended time requires love of God and a real ❤️🔥 'super-charged' love of neighbor to endure and scour off our self-love and self-will. Thank you, pray for Translators. 🌐🕊️🔔 🌊⚓
Carthusians have lay brothers and donation brothers. I am an oblate. There are some brothers in my abbey. More than most I think. One has quite a few tattoos and probably some stories to go with them.

Great Post, thank you.
Saint Benedict of Nursia, pray for us!
Holy Monks and Nuns, pray for us.......
Thanks, I thought they did, good to have it confirmed. The ICKSP also has oblates, who don't become priests. It's a good idea, having a mix.
