The Trappist Monks at St. Joseph's Abbey in Spencer, MA live their lives by the Benedictine rule of Ora et Labora - Pray and Work. See how they experience Sabbath in a monastic environment.
***
Told as a collection of short stories, SABBATH explores the history of one of the world's most important spiritual practices and its timeless relevance for a stressed-out, modern world.
From the Biblical accounts of Creation, to the 10 Commandments, to the Puritans landing in the New World, to the contemporary practice of a "tech-sabbath" - SABBATH ties together our collective history, our health practices, our response to God's invitation and the search for a more sustainable way of life.
