Monastic Life"Faithfully observing God's teaching in the monastery until death, we shall through patience share in the sufferings of Christ that we may deserve also to be companions in his kingdom. Amen"  |
Monastic Commitment
As a Benedictine monastic community our core monastic commitment is that we are a “school of the Lord’s service” (Prologue to the Rule of St. Benedict) in which we listen carefully to God and serve God as source of life, joy, and meaning, and welcome all people as Christ.
The diagram below illustrates how our Monastic Practice embodies this core commitment.
