What we do Monks seek God and respond to Him through prayer. We unify all aspects of our daily lives in a humble response to God at morning prayer, midday prayer, Eucharist, and evening prayer. This prayer is filled with praise, adoration, and thanksgiving to God, celebrating the mysteries of His wondrous deeds in Christ Jesus.
Communal prayer serves as a springboard for our individual, private prayer.
Traditionally, monastic prayer has always been rooted in the Psalms. It is in community that we express our consciousness of being God's creatures called to the glorious destiny of the Kingdom. At the Eucharist, our community celebrates the deepest dimensions of its existence and purpose, while confessing and experiencing the mystery of faith and hope in Christ. Our lives are stamped with the mark of pilgrims. We realize that our prayer is not simply a matter of praying from time to time, alternating with other activities, but rather a matter of directing our whole lives to this end.
