Aelred was a talented man in many ways. He was an author, preacher, theologian, leader and diplomat. These many skills meant Aelred rose quickly in the court of King David of Scotland. Aelred lived a comfortable life but he gave up all material goods to follow God's call to become a monk. It is in this life that Aelred found joy surpassing all material goods. This skilled man gave his life to serving God and his brothers, eventually becoming Abbot of the Monastery of Rievaulx. Aelred was a loving brother and inspirational father to his fellow monks.
To mark the Feast Day of Saint Aelred we recorded a video discussing Aelred's life and what is arguably his greatest work - Spiritual Friendship.
