La lecture ne doit jamais faire défaut pendant les repas

Saint Benedict strongly insists that his monks have reading during their meals. Thus far this year in the monastery refectory we have read four very fine books  (the titles are illustrated below).

Monks 'eat' books as it were - particularly young monks - and we are always in need of more. We are profoundly grateful to those who enable us to expand our library through their benefactions and their gifts. An up to date list of some of the books we need and hope to acquire can be found on the Monastery's Amazon wish list. God bless and reward you if you can help to nourish our hearts, minds and souls in this way. Our benefactors are prayed for daily.
