The Importance of Listening

Benedictines tend to have a special love of music. They are not necessarily good performers, but they should be good listeners since the very first word of the Rule is "Listen!" On 22 November we celebrate the feast of St Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians. It will have extra-special resonances here in the monastery because we keep it as a day of special prayer for the work of St Cecilia's Guild, and for all visually impaired people. Today's podcast reminds us that the work of the Guild was begun by one very generous lady and is sustained today by the generosity of many.
