This book is a study of one monastery of Benedictine nuns, who came from England to the Colony of New South Wales in 1848-49. Their story revolves on the first word of their Rule: Obsculta (listen). Their lived obsculta embraced the Benedictine values of: prayer (lectio Divina and the Liturgy of the Hours), work, peace and justice, zeal for the gospel of Christ, and preference for Christ above all. Until now, their history has, for the most part, been hidden behind the history of a male-dominated Roman Catholic Church. The fact that they have survived in Australia for over 170 years, while remaining obedient to the Roman Catholic Church, is a statement of the strength of these monastic women who allowed the flame of their courage, determination and faith, to shine brightly within this ancient land.
