Here the Abbey is shown surrounded by trees in autumn colour. By now many of the leaves will have fallen off the trees.
To all life thou givest - to both great and small;
In all life thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish - but nought changeth thee.
Great words written by a Church of Scotland minister.

Amazing photos..i love looking at them...
Benedicite!
wow thanks for the photos, i hope to go to Pluscarden (From Canada) next year spring, on a vocation discernment retreat, so all the photos i can see the better.!!!hint hint
i do have what may seem a silly question, do all the monks receive Communion in the same manner, as in the hand, or on the tongue?
thanks.
pax!
The monks usually concelebrate Mass, and so receive the Host on the hand. Others present at Mass are welcome to receive in the hand or on the tongue. Although externally things seem quite traditional, the monks are very much committed to the Modern Roman Rite.
