Our CommunityMonastic Life
Liturgy and Prayer
The primary work of Benedictine monastics is prayer—the "Work of God" as the Rule of St. Benedict calls it. It is the daily rhythm of public and personal prayer that provides the structure and the defining character of Benedictine life. As Jesus promised, God is present in the Community gathered for prayer, and the awareness of that Presence becomes the integrating force in all dimensions of monastic life and ministry.
Liturgy is central in our lives as we gather together in prayer. We are connected not only with the Trinity and one another, but with the whole global community as we praise and give thanks to God and intercede for the needs of the world.
— Sister Jeanne Ann Weber, Director of Liturgy
