Inside, we invite guests to our chapel to rest with God. The contemplative life is a unique expression of the Christian life. Like all Christians, we try to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ. However, a contemplative chooses to set aside family, career, travel, desire for security, and much more for a solitary life within a community. Logic cannot explain the desire to spend one's day in prayer and constant search for God's presence.
Contemplative life focuses on three things.
First, community prayer, principally the Liturgy of the Hours , said at different times throughout the day. This is liturgical prayer of the Church, with the Church, and for the Church. Second is our community. We live in a community of sisters. Third, we work for the daily livelihood of the community and of the poor.
