Favorite Verse in the Holy Rule: From chapter 7 - The eleventh step of humility is that a monk speaks gently and without laughter, seriously, and with becoming modesty, briefly and reasonably, but without raising his voice, as it is written: “A wise man is known by his few words.”


The JOY of being a being a Benedictine Sister in this community: Praying the Divine Office several time a day with the Sisters of the community gives me peace and joy. The use of the organ enhances the praying of the Divine Office and helps me feel more strongly the presence of the Holy Spirit.
