Easter Blessings

March at Nunraw

The Community at Nunraw is with regret in the process of selling the old guesthouse, Nunraw House, and is not able to accept bookings for guests in the meantime. We ask for your prayers as we carry out this difficult but necessary task.

Nunraw House was our monastic home for our first 23 years in Scotland.

The Divine Office - new timetable

As part of our re-appraisal of our activities, we have agreed a new Horarium which can be found in the Service Times section. The biggest change is that the weekday Community Mass will now take place at 8 a.m.

March - Month of St Joseph

Candlemas 2014

νῦν ἀπολύεις τὸν δοῦλόν σου, δέσποτα, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου ἐν εἰρήνῃ·

ὅτι εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου τὸ σωτήριόν σου,

ὃ ἡτοίμασας κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν λαῶν,

φῶς εἰς αποκάλυψιν ἐθνῶν καὶ δόξαν λαοῦ σου Ἰσραήλ.

Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace according to Thy Word,
For mine eyes have seen Thy salvation which Thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
to be a light to lighten the Gentiles and to be the glory of Thy people Israel.

Epiphany 2014

Advent 2013

"O radix Jesse, qui stas in signum populorum, super quem continebunt reges os suum, quem gentes deprecabuntur; veni ad liberandum nos, iam noli tardare." O Root of Jesse, you stand as a sign for the peoples; before you kings shall keep silence and to you all nations shall have recourse. Come, save us, and do not delay.
