St. Placid Priory was simply filled with festivity on Sunday, April 19. First of all, it was Sunday and we always celebrate Sundays with liturgies full of song and grace. It also happened to be our monthly Oblates and Associates day, when people gather at the Priory to learn about and grow in Benedictine values. St. Placid Priory It is always an added festivity when our Oblates and Associates come here.
Then we had a very special celebration with our Oblate, Roy DeLeon, whose book, Praying With the Body, has just been released. His book is available for purchase in our Priory Store, and those who picked it up had the opportunity to speak with the author himself and ask for his autograph. What a joyful moment, when I brought my book to Roy, who wrote a blessing for me in it!
The book is about using the body in gentle and easy ways to express the prayers we hold in our minds and hearts and bodies. The movements are designed to deepen our prayer, embody our prayer and give physical expression to what we are hearing in the depths of our beings. I recommend this book to anyone wishing to explore new and different paths of prayer.
