Segensreich - the online shop

The day in the monastery begins and ends with prayer. The first words of the day are the opening of the morning prayer: Lord, open my lips. The main part of the Liturgy of the Hours is the Psalms. The first psalm to be prayed every day is Psalm 95, which is particularly close to Benedict’s heart, which is why he quotes it specifically in the preface to his Rule: “Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.” (RB Prologue 10, cf. Ps 95, 7f.) This shows what should happen in prayer: hearing the word of God, receiving it with the whole heart and responding to it with the whole person.

We see our life in this spiritual place as an indication that God lives among us. We make the concerns and worries of the church and the world our own and bring them before God in prayer. We want to be open to the people who come to us, regardless of our monastic way of life.
