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. ABBOT ANSELM’S HOMILY FOR THE FUNERAL OF FR. MATTHEW TYLOR; 17 FEBRUARY 2023

Fr Matthew was a monk for over sixty years; a Priest for fifty years. Before he was a monk he was a soldier, being of the generation that did military service, and he fought in the jungle in Malaysia. He was a tall, strong man, whose long and interesting life was mostly behind him when he arrived at Pluscarden nearly twenty years ago.
