The Church acknowledges Gregorian chant as proper to the
Roman liturgy: therefore, other things being equal, it should be given pride of
place in liturgical services.”
Documents
of Vatican II,
Constitution on the Sacred VI, Sacred
Music, paragraph 116.
Daily Mass the center of our monastic
life is the source and summit of all graces.
Reservation of the Holy Eucharistic in
the tabernacle allows worship of the Real Presence of Christ to continue
outside of the Sacrifice of the Mass
"In the meditative reading of Sacred Scripture, known as Lectio Divina,
we listen to the Word of God and take it
into ourselves .”
We support ourselves primarily by baking altar breads
Recreations are an essential means to
becoming a monastic family; true sisters in the Body of
Christ
Community is a sharing in the simple joys of life
Faithful perseverance
in our vocation
produces the fruit of unconditional
love
The Cistercian monastery forms an
environment of silence and solitude within a community. In this atmosphere of
quiet and separation from the noise of the world one is able to enter into the
stillness of the spirit and encounter God dwelling within.
Boo ya. Catholics are awesome.
Pax Christi!
