Benedictine spirituality

Benedictine spirituality is rooted in the teachings of St. Benedict, emphasizing a balanced, community-oriented life centered on prayer, work, and contemplation. It encourages living in harmony with others through the “Rule of St. Benedict,” which guides monastic life. Core principles include stability, obedience, and hospitality, fostering a deep relationship with God and others. Benedictines strive for a rhythm of daily life that integrates spiritual and physical activities, highlighting the sacredness of all work. This approach encourages mindfulness, reflecting on one’s actions and contributing to both personal growth and communal well-being.
