Welcome to the Ecumenical Benedictine Oblate.

You are welcome here as Christ.
I hope we will create a meeting space here, gathering resources that will:
--enrich our lives,
--build our sense of Benedictine community,
--deepen our spiritual journeys, and
--stimulate meaningful conversation.

Advent

"O come, O come Emmanuel, 

and ransom captive Israel, 

that morns in lonely exile here

until the Son of God appear."
