"This is the good zeal which monks must foster with fervent love: they should each try to be the first to show respect to the other"
- Rule of St. Benedict, Chapter 72 verse 3

Community Prayer

"We are monastic Benedictine women who seek God through prayer, community life and service, especially to those in need. The Liturgy of the Hours, the Eucharist and Lectio Divina are central to our cenobitic life and send us forth to serve the local church in hospitality, simplicity and stewardship of God's creation."

These are the words of our Community Mission Statement, which is truly the "nuts and bolts" of our life. Our commitment to prayer is first and foremost. Our communal prayer (The Liturgy of the Hours) comes before all else, even before ministry. Without prayer, we cannot minister authentically.

Our private prayer consists of: Lectio Divina (praying with Scripture texts) and meditating on how the Scripture calls us to live, grow and become the women God calls us to be.

We pray together throughout the day (Morning, Mid-Day, Evening, Night as well as the celebration of the Eucharist) and invite you to join us as we pray. Our typical schedule is found here: (Questions You May Have, "What do you do all day). It is always a good idea to call ahead to make sure of specific prayer times. (918.742.4989)
