This meditation period is a special time as you start your week to gather at the Abbey to center yourself in Our Creator. As you center yourself along with prayer, singing bowls and silence, slowly close your meditation with freshly made herbal tea from the Abbey garden. Meditation coupled with tea is a spiritual practice going as far back as the 9th Century.
Compline at the Abbey Church is optional at 7:45 p.m.
All are welcome!

Ecumenism: What Would it Take to Reach Christian Unity? Moderator: Fr. Albrecht Nyce, OSB.
Join us for thoughtful, expansive, intelligent dialogue on issues that matter. All participants are encouraged to offer their opinions respectfully while also generously considering opinions that may not match their own.

Change to regular service schedule: Compline at 7:15 p.m.This year's theme is “Understanding and Living the Rule of St. Benedict as Oblates: Our Stories as Tools for Spiritual Growth.”  Our program consists of speakers, a panel, book sharing and discussions, short films and a retreat day focused on our theme. Through these shared gatherings and readings, we hope to enrich our personal understanding of mercy and challenge ourselves to apply mercy to our daily lives. We look forward to another fruitful year of prayer, study, and fellowship with both the Abbey and the Oblate communities. Check out the website for the year's program:

The Abbey offers weekly simple suppers of soup and bread, followed by a spiritual reflection given by the monks and members of the community. All suppers and discussions are held on Tuesday evenings at the Morcone Center and begin at 6:30 pm. No reservations required. Donations gratefully accepted.

Every Lent the Church invites us to the three traditional practices of prayer, fasting, and alms giving. This year our Lenten supper discussions focus on different aspects of prayer.

Anam Cara, Glastonbury Abbey's women's spirituality group, has been meeting for more than 15 years. Over the years we have read Richard Rohr, Joyce Rupp, Joan Chittister, Barbara Taylor and many other authors. We have studied the labyrinth, gathered jewelry for The Women's Lunch Place, raised money for mattresses at Stonecrest retreat house, shared our struggles, laughed at our growing pains and enjoyed a pot luck supper or two. New members are welcome! For more info, contact Ellie, ellivine70@gmail.com.
