Monastic Wisdom for Everyday Living

An archive of sermons, workshops, and teachings that seek to distill the collective wisdom of the past
and offer practical counsel for living in today’s world.

For the five Tuesdays of Lent, we are offering a preaching series on the challenges and rewards of living by a rule of life. Drawing on chapters from SSJE’s Rule, we invite you to consider the richness that comes from having a Framework for Freedom. Join us in the Chapel at 5:30, or listen online: February 28, March 6, March 13, March 20, March 27. Click here to visit the series page.
