Benedictine
Spirituality
For over 1500 years the Rule of Benedict has served as a
guide for ordinary men and women who want to live a full and intense
Gospel life.
Benedictines prefer nothing to the love of Christ. We know
God is present in everyone and in everything. Therefore, our lives are
characterized by deep reverence and praise for all of creation. Living
humbly before the greatness of God enlivens us and draws us to
peacefulness and joy.
Communion with God comes through all aspects of our lives.
-
Our community prayer, the Liturgy of the Hours and the
Eucharist, is the life-giving source of energy and charity.
-
In our community life and ministry we serve God. Through
hospitality we welcome Christ in everyone, especially the sick, the
stranger and the broken.
-
Personal study and praying of the Scriptures forms the
spirit of each Benedictine. The Gospel is our guide.
-
Through our vows we surrender to Christ.
-
In Obedience we listen to God and respond with
courage.
-
Conversatio commits us to trust in the
faithfulness of God and respond with daily commitment to live in this
love in the simple
life.
-
Stability calls us to stand in trust of God’s
presence and power in ourselves and all life’s circumstances.

Clothed then with faith and the performance of good works,
let us get out on this way, with the Gospel for our guide. St. Benedict
