Dalyseford Abbey, Norbertines, St. Norbert

Norbert Dalysford 2St. Norbert, founder of the Norbertine Order. At Daylesford Abbey side chapel in Paoli Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia.

According to Give us This Day, when St. Norbert (1080-1134) was appointed archbishop of Magdeburg, (in present day Germany) he arrived in the city barefoot and dressed so poorly, he was first turned away by the palace attendant as a beggar. Upon realizing his mistake, Norbert assured him: “Never mind, dear brother, you judge me more truly than those who brought me here.”

The Norbertines at Daylesford Abbey are canons regular, (not monks) meaning they service and interact with the community and follow the Rule of St. Augustine. This is why their Spirituality Center programs are so strong and varied, from bringing in world renowned speaker Fr. Richard Rohr to presentations on the spirituality of beekeeping. For some the larger programs, conferences or retreats, the Abbey has 36 rooms for overnight guests. They also have home cooked meals for a nominal cost.

Also known as Premonstratensians. Norbert founded the order in the French town of Premontre, northeast of Paris. The Norbertines today sing their prayers in the Divine Office and have a special devotion to the Holy Eucharist. On June 6th, the solemnity of St. Norbert, Daylesford Abbey shares with the community The Office of Vigils, Morning Prayer, Mass with St. Norbert emphasis, and Vespers.

The Cover Art

Jan Van Eyck, “The Adoration of the Lamb” 1432 from the Ghent Alterpiece. Detail: The red altar where the lamb stands reads, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world” and “Jesus the way, the truth, and the life”, both quotes from Gospel of John. In this image and in the book of Revelation the Lamb is Jesus. Directly around the Lamb on the altar are angels who are carrying the instruments in the Passion scenes, like the cross and crown of thorns.

There's beauty in sacred spaces; from the stories they tell in architecture, stained glass windows and icons; to the rituals and liturgy that arises our soul. Inside a shrine, the angels and saints praise God with us. I hope to relay the message for the kingdom, power and glory of God, now and forever.
