Prayer is at the heart of our lay Benedictine spirituality.
We turn up. We turn up for God, because by coming together we can express our love and thanks as well as our needs and worries. And we turn up for each other to be a support on our life’s journeys.
Introduction to LCSB Prayer
St Benedict centred the whole daily timetable of his monks around the seven offices of the day - fixed times of prayer designed to sanctify different times of the day. In the Lay Community of St Benedict, we pray online several times a day, seven days a week. Members and guests join in as and when they are able. If you're interested in joining our daily prayers, or finding out more, please look at the timetable and contact us.
We also meet on other occasions - for bible study, reading St Benedict's Rule to see how it may act as a guide in our lives; some of us meet for contemplative prayer or centering prayer; we pray the rosary and some of us meet for creative prayer; we have groups for mothers, and sometimes we gather to pray for a particular intention, whether at Advent, Lent, or for peace in our world. If you're interested in joining any of these prayers, please do get in touch.
