Book Review: Practical reflections on the oblate life
Summary: 5 Stars
The writer gives the insights of a Benedictine monk who observes the oblates from his perspective as an oblate master. Originally the Rule of St Benedict allowed for oblates (young boys) to be offered by their parents to a monastery; today's oblates are adult males and females who are attached to a specific Benedictine house. They share the Benedictine way (prayer, work, conversion of life) outside the monastery walls, and support and are supported by their community. Br Benet's warm account shows how the oblate's life enriches both the oblate and the community, giving practical examples which help us to understand why, in an age when vocations to the enclosed religious life have fallen, the oblate community is growing and thriving. A recommended read for existing oblates, those who are considering the oblate way of life, and anyone who wishes to draw upon the riches of St Benedict's Rule, spirituality and practical wisdom in his or her own life.
