Throughout this year, one of the Sisters is proposing a theme of monastic life to review and reflect upon each month. Our first theme to reflect upon was Sacred Reading. Our next theme is Liturgical Prayer.

What place does the Liturgical life of the Church hold in your life? We'd love to hear from you!

The next theme will be on the sacredness of Work.

The images and themes are taken from Monastic Practices written in 1986 by Cistercian monk, Father Charles Cummings and illustrated by Cistercian nun, Sister M. Bernarda Seferovich. We love the illustrations!  Note: We do not necessarily agree with all the opinions expressed in this book but we have pulled from it what we have found helpful.
