A Vowed Life Benedictine Sisters profess the three vows of obedience, fidelity to the monastic way of life, and stability.
Obedience is a promise to be a faithful listener.
With the ear of the heart we listen to the voice of the Spirit in the Scriputres, in the Prioress, in one another, in the call of the Church, and in the cry of the poor. Then we seek to respond with generosity and courage. Fidelity to the Monastic Way of Life is our promise of continual turning to and relying on the faithful love of our God. It is a promise of lifelong seeking for, listening to, and being transformed by our God. It is the centering of self on an ever deepening relationship with God, as it is experienced in our ordinary daily monastic lives of prayer, work, community, service to God' s people and care for God's creation.
