The Companions of St. Luke The Companions of St. Luke ~ OSB are a community whose pursuit of union with God is hallmarked by individual prayer life, communal prayer offices, work and ministry. The community is rooted in the ancient tradition of the Rule of St. Benedict. Through the 1500 years since the writing of the Rule, Benedictines have taken the model of the Rule and modified it to meet historical and cultural needs. The Companions of St. Luke ~ OSB continue in this tradition by opening new possibilities for monastic life in the new millennium while remaining a school for the Lord's service. Vocation The Rule of St. Benedict tells us: "Listen carefully, my child, to my instructions, and attend to them with the ear of your heart". We of the Companions of St. Luke ~ OSB would ask you to listen with the ear of your heart. St. Benedict further says: "This message of mine is for you, then, if you are ready to give up your own will, once and for all, and armed with the strong and noble weapons of obedience to do battle for Jesus, the Christ." (Invitation from the Abbot). There are three vocational paths in the Companions of St. Luke ~ OSB Associate, Oblate and Vowed Life. Read more.
