Our Daily Life

Our Monastic Community

Living a spiritual life, together with others in a monastic community, displays the basic, Christian gift of Benedictine spirituality to the world.

Each ministry task in our monastic daily lives embraces the spirituality of the presence of God all around us.
 

Practicing Mindfulness

  • Daily prayer and reflective, spiritual reading
     
  • Monastic living by the work of our hands
     
  • Sharing all God's things in common
     
  • Welcoming guests with traditional, Christian, Benedictine hospitality
     
  • Practicing the tools of monastic spirituality: obedience, stability, spiritual conversion
     
  • Seeking peace within a Christian life
     
  • Daily mindfulness of God in our monastic lives
     
  • Learning spiritual harmony, wholeness and balance
     
  • Creating peaceful beauty through simplicity of spiritual life
     
  • Listening with eagerness to God’s call into the future
