Perspective on Daily Prayer

Liturgy of the hours is central to Benedictine life. This daily prayer brings the community together at morning, midday and evening to praise God in song, psalms and readings. The silence after the psalms and readings allows time for listening and meditating on the word of God. These forms of prayer draw from the deepest wells of monastic spirituality, yet they are simple and accessible. In the spirit of Benedictine hospitality, the prayer of the monastery community is open to anyone.
