The Contemplative Sisters The rythm of the Sisters’ life |
||
|
Prayer is at the heart of the life of the contemplative sisters. Community prayer (time of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament and the Divine Office) and solitary prayer mark the rhythm of their day. The Eucharist is the source and the summit of their whole life (Lumen Gentium, 11). The sisters always strive to live the Eucharist with increasing intensity and fervor.
The sisters live
their total consecration to God in silence and solitude, as well as
through fraternal charity. For, as says Saint John, «the one who does not
love his brother whom he sees cannot love God whom he does not see» (1Jn
4:20). For this reason they desire to fully live
the demand of a community life of sharing, service and cooperation.
Several encounters each week (a study group, a chapter, a fraternal
gathering) allow the sisters to concretely live fraternal charity without
however, diminishing their solitude. |
