Pray

“Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.”

There’s a lot of confusion about who said this. With different people attributing it to St. Augustine, St. Ignatius of Loyola, and even John Wesley. Whoever said it, there is so much that is right about it.

As the Benedictines in my life will be quick to remind me, prayer and work are inseparable. Just what you would expect from a bunch whose motto is “ora et labora.” Literally “pray and work.”

The most important part of that? It’s the “and.”

Work is critical, but prayer is no afterthought. Whether it’s the Benedictine motto or the famous saying, prayer comes before work because it must come before work.

Prayer ensures that the work we do will be the work God has called us to.

Prayer ensures that the work we do will be done in reliance on God, not ourselves.

Prayer ensures that the work we do will be an instrument of God’s grace.

And, as St. Paul shows us in today’s first reading, that includes praying for each other.

I’m praying for you. You are part of my mass intentions, my daily prayers, and my Holy Hour.

Tonight is my regular Holy Hour of Adoration. If there’s an intention of yours that I can pray for tonight, please let me know in the comments.

And know that you are always in my prayers.

[endlessmoonlitnight]

has anyone ever considered the possibility of there being different languages within ec??

like we know that lunaca labora is ‘full moon laboratory’ in ancient leviantan. so there must have at least been a leviantan language at some point.

then in cloture allen visits elphegort and can talk to michaela without any sort of language barriers (mind you there is something to be said about allen being born into royalty). and she does recognise him as foreign. maybe it’s his appearance but it could also be because he has an accent.

there are obviously differences between the countries anyway (excluding distinct hair colours etc). i just like the idea of this.

Buck rambling about Purgatory gave me the thought that Buck would be a Jesuit if he was a priest which led me down the road that Eddie would be a Benedictine and unfortunately now I have a priest!Buddie AU I'm never going to eritr because the Catholic shame of writing two priests forsaking their vows to have carnal knowledge of one another would immediately immolate me.

Benedykt z Nursji

Św. Benedykt z Nursji nie wykłada jakichś czczych spekulacji teologicznych, lecz zaleca usilnie, jak zwykł to czynić, taki sposób myślenia i postępowania, który wynika z prawdy o otaczającej nas rzeczywistości, co prowadzi do wcielenia teologii w życie. Nie tyle pragnie on bowiem, by wiele rozmawiano o prawdach dotyczących Chrystusa, ile raczej, by ludzie żyli rzeczywiście tajemnicą Chrystusową i…

Den kinesiska farmaren

Det var en kinesisk farmare som hade en häst. En natt så flydde hästen. Då kom människor från byn och sa “vilken tragedi eller hur?” Den kinesiska farmaren lyfte på axlarna och sa “jag vet inte.” Dagen efter kom hästen tillbaka och dessutom med 5 andra vildhästar vid hans sida. Den kinesiska farmaren kunde stänga in dem och hade nu 5 extra hästar. Då kom människor från byn och sa “vilken tur…

Honestly I know the medieval Hype is about knights but I feel like we are forgetting that monasteries, if you didn't go into those with a benedictine rule or something, were places that the nobles put their sons and daughters in and were generally considered pretty opulent. Like I know the idea we have is of benedictine or augustine ora et labora type deal but I know some of them must have been Great places to live in

Pentascarth Peaks

Pentascarth Peaks is an ancient evergreen woodland that once dominated Wolderness, but centuries of agricultural expansion have driven it back to the five hilltop peaks. Some say that Wyrms slumber within each of the five peaks, while others more accurately claim that the peaks mark the boundary of the Wolderness wapentake.

Both Bridburn Abbey and Skunlington Minster claim rights to the forest, leading to obvious land disputes. But while mortals argue over who owns what, the woods remain home to forgotten, ancient goddesses— though the monastics seem to agree on this being just superstition.

River Wyn

Leading down from Pentascarth Peaks is the River Wyn, cutting through Humbershire on its journey east to the Lyre Estuary. The Wyn boasts giant crabs with some allegedly growing to a formidable fifteen feet. But if you're tempted to go crabbing, beware of the water spirit Catharine Wart, who drags unsuspecting victims beneath the Wyn's currents.

Bidburn Orchard

Nestled within an oxbow is Bridburn Abbey's apple orchard. The monks began with the principle of ora et labora, or 'pray and labour,' but if it also produces apples so delicious and plentiful that kings from across the seas are willing to pay a pretty sum for them, then who are the Valynites to say no? Whether it's Wyn's blessed waters or the lay brothers' tireless work, the orchard certainly hasn't hindered the abbey's rise to fame and fortune. Just don’t get caught scrumping from it, or the monks will have your hand off.

Bridburn Abbey

Bridburn Abbey houses the Valynite Order, which seems more preoccupied with power and business than strictly worship. With extensive landholdings and significant influence in the region, the abbey functions as the principal rural manor of Wolderness. As a result, it has become the largest and wealthiest abbey in all of Humbershire. But beyond just collecting tithes from the surrounding peasants, the monks are skilled in land management, particularly in assarting the land of trees and marshes.

Firley Village

Firley Village, named after the fir trees that once grew in the area, is an agricultural settlement situated on the glebe of Bridburn Abbey.

A large plot of common land lies to the west of the village, while smaller plots are located south on the opposite bank of the River Wyn. While the villagers grow a rotation of barley and vegetables, they're best known for they're prized oxblood-coloured sheep, whose wool appears black but shines red when catching the light. You'd think the village would grow fat from the wealth of this highly sought-after wool, but as the village falls under the manorial holding of the abbey, it is the abbey that reaps the wealth.

Grinholm Mill

Grinholm Mill, a growing hamlet owned by the Rolleston family, offers a much more reasonable miller's toll compared to the one up by Bridburn Abbey. They've become quite popular amongst the peasants of Wolderness, (well at least by miller standards), as well as wealthy. Although they pay their tithe to the abbey like everyone else on this side of the river, they are perceived to have undermined the abbey’s milling soke monopoly—much to the abbey displeasure.

Skunlington Town

Skunlington is a prominent market town, both wealthy and influential, with a history that stretches back to the First Age. It's located behind a small range of hills that shield it from harsh weather and provides a natural defence, with an added Royal Castle on the highest peak for good measure.

The castle is about the only Royal influence in the town however, as Skunlington holds charters that grant it a degree of autonomy from the Crown. The town is governed by a council of Merchant Guild Aldermen in coalition with the Provost of Skunlington Minster. But despite this apparent independence, the town is practically in the pocket of the Archbishop of Humberthorpe, the capital city of Humbershire.

South of Bridburn Abbey, across the River Wyn, lies the land controlled by Skunlington Minster’s estate (marked in purple on the map). The large tract of empty land between Skunlington and Bridburn Abbey is an ongoing contention, as both estates claim it for their own. The bickering has gone on so long that the land has turned fallow. But the biggest source of contention is how Skunlington controls the river toll for use of its docks, with particularly extortionate prices for Bridburn Abbey. Rumour has it that Bridburn Abbey might just build a whole new town of its own, south of Skunlington, just to avoid paying this toll!

Skunlington Castle was strategically built in the First Age atop the highest hill on Pen-y-Skun for its vantage point overlooking the whole of North Wolderness Dale—crucial in the Woodsy War against the pagans. However, these days it’s the Crown's administrative center for Wolderness, run by the Under-Sheriff. Here, secular law is enforced, tasks such as collecting taxes for the Crown, raising levies, chopping off heads, that sort of thing. There’s a lot of overlap with the ecclesiastical courts however, sometimes resulting in collaboration and other times in clashes.

Skunlington Castle

But it’s not all work. The castle also serves as the hub for the gentry afterall, and they're not exactly know for their hard work. So the castle hosts games, jousts, fairs, that sort of thing, and a bed for when the King comes to visit.

Archaeology investigators spotted a "rarely used computer" on the International Space Station near the toilet, in a spot the device wasn't expected to be. The fresh finding illustrates how astronauts on the International Space Station are making the most of a crowded laboratory that has been occupied full-time by humans since 2000, a new study shows. The new work, published in PLOS One on Aug. 7, is part of a peer-reviewed series from the International Space Station Archaeological Project that used a popular technique on Earth to track object usage in space. It's called the "test pit."
