Welcome! I (Jane) am glad you are here and hope you are having a good day.
In this section of the website you will find Tools to help you put Benedictine Living into practice. These Tools are related to my reflections on the Rule and the spiritual life found down, Jane’s Reflections. Each Tool has a link that will jump you to the associated Reflection. Of course, you can use the Tool without reading the reflection.
I do hope that you find these Tools useful. I will be adding more as time goes on. Right now the Feline Cloister is keeping me very busy.
Blessings on your journey.
