The spiritual life of a monastic community embraces every moment of the day. The Dominican charism of study deepens our relationship with God. As preachers of the Word, however silent, we read and ponder Scripture daily. We develop the habit of reflecting on whatever we read, from theological presentations and Church documents to Scripture commentaries, literature, and current events. We read newspapers and news magazines to remain prayerfully aware of what is happening to people in the world around us.
Prayer exists always, extends everywhere.
Everything that happens in the world concerns us, from the sick child across the street, to the friend struggling with mortal illness, to our Dominican Brothers and Sisters active in far-flung missions, to global leaders and the events driving the religious, economic, social, and cultural well being of the world today. O.P. The Perpetual Rosary of our name means that one Sister always is present to God, listening for His voice, praying for His people, proclaiming His merciful love for them by her silent witness to His Kingdom in their midst. In addition to community and private prayer, each Sister prays the Rosary during one hour of the day and perhaps a second hour at night. She prays the entire 15-decade Rosary, meditating on the mysteries of Christ's life in the company of His Mother Mary. He offers everyone.
