These days, more and more, the Pluscarden brethren are aware of our need to pray for vocations: to ask the Lord to send us men, who want to be, and will become, monks.
Homily for St. Benedict 11 July 2023: Mark 10:17-30
Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?
What a wonderful question this un-named man of the Gospel asks! He asks with such fervour, such frankness, such daring! No wonder Jesus loved him! Surely we also feel a certain instinctive attraction towards him. He puts his question not just for himself, but on behalf of all of us; on behalf of humanity as a whole.
