Our life

Foto 2

This is the group which seeks the Lord

Foto 3

From you get up until you go to bed, look for the Beloved One

Foto 4

Lord, I have been looking for you since dawn. My soul is thirsty for You, like dry land

Foto 5

This is the only occupation of the nun during the day: “the incessant search for the Lord´s countenance”.

Foto 6

Love sings! The chant at dawn, the chant at midday,

Foto 7

at dusk and at night, is the chant of Love which worships, praises, gives thanks,

Foto 8

implores and intercedes… “Lord, open my lips!”.

Foto 9

It is the liturgical prayer

Foto 10

It is called God´s Work

Foto 11

“Love listens”. “Listen and offer your heart’s ear” (Prol. RB)

Foto 12

Listening to the Word is reading this Word with an open heart.

Foto 13

It is meeting the One you love and letting yourself be loved by Him

Foto 14

to find inner silence and dwell near Him.

Foto 15

It is love which listens. It is called “Holy Reading”.

Foto 16

Broken bread given to the sisters,

Foto 17

Blood which was shed for us…

Foto 18

…is the Lord Jesus, sacrificed and given up for us.

Foto 19

“Do this in remembrance of me”. “Do unto your brothers as I have done unto you”

Foto 20

The Eucharist, focus and centre of monastic Life.

Foto 21

The one who loves the Lord always remembers Him. Even when working.

Foto 22

When carried out in seclusion, work is a way of praying. Work is a way of listening.

Foto 23

Following Jesus´ example, work is always service. Work, inspired by love for the Lord, works alongside the Lord´s creative work and exudes its beauty.

Foto 24

The smallest of works is a loving hymn of praise

Foto 25

The nun who does not live from her work is not a true nun (R.B.)

Foto 26

“Above all put on love, which binds everything together in perfect Unity”. “All should come together as one”… it is the will of Jesus.

Foto 27

And what joy and happiness there will be when all live united in their hearts!

Foto 28

What joy and happiness there will be at those times of exchange, relaxation, going out to the solitary countryside!

Foto 29

How their hearts swell and how the community grows!

Foto 30

Joy is the emblem of those who are getting ready for the Kingdom.

Foto 31

Always Jesus! Jesus is also our guest. The doors of the monastery are open to charity and welcome.

Foto 32

The Community offers the dearest for them: prayer, silence, meditation, a place of gratuity and joy,

Foto 33

A haven of peace to get our strength back, sincere friendship and advice if required.

Foto 34

The guests who visit the Monastery…

Foto 35

…will be welcomed like Christ Himself (R.B.)
