"When they are to be received, the come before the whole community in the oratory and promise stability, fidelity to the monastic way of life, and obedience."
Sisters Karen Lynn and Kathleen make their profession before GOD, the prioress and the monastic community.
Our finest altar linen, embroidered by Sister Henry Marie, graces the table on which the promises are laid. May the lives of these sisters bring great glory to GOD who called them to obedience, stability and fidelity to the monastic way of life.
I am a Benedictine Sister of Virginia since 2002. That's the most important thing about me. I am 47 years old - nine years in the monastery - and a native of the great state of New Jersey.
I have served as Vocation Director since 2004. It's the best "job" I've never been paid for. The heart of our life is found in these small reflections. Welcome to Saint Benedict Monastery - my home.
