Thanks Carol! I have not come across this particular book but know a little about St Benedict's Way from Lives of The Saints and the feast day homilies. When the idea of the "domestic church" and "monastic living" finally dawned on me (and this was a wonderful revelation!) after I was married and with child, I could see how indeed, we as laity, could be served by following an ordered schedule to bring more order, peace, joy and productivity to our days.

It was from Ashley Woleben, a Catholic mum with a blog, Between the Linens and co-host with Jennifer Dow of the Classical Homeschool podcast (both mediums retired unfortunately) where I discovered how to bring these beautiful ideas into our home.

I have also come across (but not yet purchased) The Monk Manual, for laypeople inspired by the monastic schedule which is worth a look: https://monkmanual.com

Thank you for the links to the podcasts. This is helpful to add to the reading I have already done on St Benedict. I attend Mass at the Jamberoo Abbey occasionally because it is only 30 minute drive from our new home and so have been learning about the order.
