Living the Faith in the World of Today
The 2023 Pluscarden Pentecost Lectures to be given by Fr Richard Price
…This series of talks addresses a broad range of problems – from that of living in an increasingly godless society to that posed by doubts as to how read Scripture.
It speaks of the need to cultivate one’s own spiritual perception of the world, and uses an autobiography by a nineteenth-century Italian to illustrate how to maintain Christian patience and charity in a context where we have to depend on our inner resources rather on a supportive environment, for that is the situation of a Christian today.

Fr. Chris Monaghan CP is an Australian Passionist Priest and Scripture Scholar. He did his further studies in Scripture at the Pontifical Biblical College in Rome in the 1980's. There he became a friend of our Fr. Abbot, who studied with him at the same time. The two also went on together, after Rome, for yet further studies in Jerusalem.
