The prayer

Prayer keeps us in the presence of God, a presence that is certainly always mysterious and singularly elusive, but no less real and active at the heart of our lives and our relationships.
Prayer is the place where the profound expression of human beings and God meet and interpenetrate. Prayer is a space for open dialogue and communion.
We do not pray alone and for ourselves alone; we pray in communion with the whole of humanity.

Prayer in our life as monks takes two forms: a structured community form, called Liturgical Prayer, which expresses the prayerful face of the Church, and a more personal form.
These two forms complement and nourish each other.
Christian prayer has its roots in the prayer of Christ, the living word of God who reached out to us in our humanity to open the doors to the divine.

Daybreak we celebrate Lauds, we celebrate, at this symbolic hour, the light of Christ who comes to enlighten mankind.
During the morning we recite Tierce, formerly the third hour of the day, when the Holy Spirit, who gives us life from God, was given to the apostles and passed on to the Church.
Sext the sixth hour of the dayAt midday, when, according to the Gospels, Christ was crucified and gave up his life for us.
None, the ninth hourat the beginning of the afternoon when Christ died, the Master of life, to fight his last battle against death.
Late afternoon We celebrate Vespers (Evening), the prayer that accompanies the setting sun, entrusting humanity to the true Sun, Christ, who knows no setting.
At dusk we recite Compline, the day is over, we rest in joyful expectation of Christ so that our life may advance gently to the day of light that never ends in our God.
We personally extend this community prayerThis is the voice of the people of God, throughout the day, through interior, quieter prayer and meditative reading of the Bible.
In this way, we grow in the image of Christ, who calls us into his unceasing dialogue of love with his Father and our Father.
At the end of the morning we celebrate MassA place of meeting and communion where we become the Body of Christ and where prayer becomes a way of giving thanks, receiving and giving Life.
