Sr Martha Reeves (1941-2026)

Sr Martha Reeves, who wrote this blog and her many books under the pen-name Maggie Ross, passed away peacefully on June 11th 2026. She was visited by many friends and surrounded by love and prayer to the end. A simple funeral, with much silence, was held on the 2nd July. Her earthly body is buried in Botley cemetery in Oxford. The name-plate on her grave reads:


Sr Martha Emilie Reeves

In Silence Beholding 


Martha left behind an enormous body of unpublished writings, and it is hoped that a selection at least of these can be edited and published in the future.

Very sad news. Thank you to Sr. Martha Reeves for her writings on silent beholding, it has been immensely important for myself, at the very least, and for many others, I know. May she rest in peace. If any help is needed in editing/sorting out her writings, please reach out.
