We choose to separate ourselves from the world in order to be fully present to the world. We choose to work within the monastery, yet experience freedom to visit our families and welcome guests. This perpetual adoration flows from our daily celebration of Eucharist, Liturgy of the Hours , personal prayer, and lectio divina or spiritual reading. We gather to celebrate Eucharist, that in our becoming one in Christ, the world might become one. In our prayer of adoration we gather the cries of all hearts into the One Heart - Christ.
Adoration goes beyond our time of prayer to become our way of life.
We seek to become perpetual adorers of the presence of Christ, recognizing His presence in the Eucharist, the Word, one another, each person, and all things. In a world where things rapidly become outdated, The Rule of Benedict has lasted for over 1500 years. Maybe because it's not a bunch of rules, but a way of life. Love St. Benedict says that we must pray the Psalms together. This is the Work of God.
