I have recently found a couple of videos describing the life of St Bruno and that of the Carthusians. As we head towards Advent, and my annual encouragement that we have a “Slow Advent” (do less rather than add more and more on), Bruno and the Carthusians can inspire us.

Carthusian monks and nuns continue what was once a human norm: breaking one’s sleep during the night.
God,
you called Bruno to serve you
in a life of solitude,
inspired by his example,
may our hearts be fixed on you
amidst the swift and varied changes of the world,
through Jesus, the Christ,
who is alive with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Be blessed by the beautiful movie of a Korean Carthusian monastery.

O holy God,
you endowed your servant and bishop Hugh of Lincoln
with wise and cheerful boldness,
and taught him to commend the discipline of holy life to kings and princes:
Grant that we also, rejoicing in the Good News of your mercy,
and fearing nothing but the loss of you,
may be bold to speak the truth in love,
in the name of Jesus Christ our Redeemer;
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen
