Tomorrow is the day to start your Novena to St Benedict, leading up to the feast on July 11.
If you do say it, could I ask that you make one of your intentions the spiritual health and growth of all those participating in the Learn the Office mini-course I'm going to run?
Learn the Office Course
And for those still thinking about it, it is not too late.
The course is aimed at absolute beginners or people still struggling with the Diurnal, and will begin on July 11. It is aimed at helping participants learn more about the traditional form of the Benedictine Office, including:
• what the Office is, and how to prepare to say it;
• finding your way around the Monastic Diurnal (or other Office books you can use);
• how to say/sing Compline and Prime; and
• how to get started on the other hours of the Office.
It will be structured so you can work through the material at your own pace, but to get the most out of it though, you will want to keep up with the group so you can participate in discussions on the material posted each week.
In order to follow the course you will need a copy of the Monastic Diurnal (ideally one of the recent editions published by Farnborough Abbey in English and Latin, but earlier/other versions can be used as well).
If you are interested, drop me an email so I can grant you access to the blog I will be using for this.
