Seek Things Above
The mission of the Mount Angel Institute is to share the rich ways of Mount Angel Abbey’s Benedictine monastic life with Church and World. In this podcast, we share talks from monks, faculty, and guest speakers at Mount Angel that generally focus on the rich ways of prayer, community life, deep reading or lectio divina, life centered on the Eucharist, Benedictine hospitality, arts and culture, and caring for the land and environment.
Mount Angel Abbey (Saint Benedict, Oregon) is a community of Benedictine monks founded in 1882 from the Abbey of Engelberg in Switzerland. Today, the community continues to serve the spiritual needs of western Oregon and beyond through the parish church of St. Mary’s, a seminary (founded in 1889), a guesthouse, and other works that welcome all visitors and guests in the spirit of Benedictine hospitality.

Cardinal Hume on the Eucharist with Sister Gertrude Feick, OCSO
This is the first of four talks in the fall 2024 Christian in the World lecture series, sponsored by the Mount Angel Institute. The theme for the entire series is “Celebrating and Adoring Christ in the Sacrament of the Eucharist.”
In this lecture from September 14, 2024, Sister Gertrude Feick, OCSO, a Cistercian sister of Redwoods Monastery, spoke about Cardinal Basil Hume and his reflections on the Eucharist. The full title of her talk is “Cardinal Hume on the Eucharist: Did not our hearts burn within us as we listened to him speaking?”
Sister Gertrude earned her Doctorate in Sacred Theology from the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas in Rome, writing her thesis on Cardinal Hume. That thesis later became a book called, 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘉𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘭 𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘦: 𝘈 𝘗𝘪𝘭𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘮’𝘴 𝘚𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘎𝘰𝘥, published by Gracewing in 2019.
The Christian in the World lecture series is an integrated program of study, prayer and discussion for Christians who want to live their faith more deeply. The program seeks to help participants gain a more profound understanding of the Scriptures and the Church, and to support lay people in exploring how to live their baptismal vocation in everyday life.
