Community of monks

A community of monks is a group of individuals who live together in a religious setting, typically dedicated to spiritual growth, service, and prayer. These communities often follow specific traditions and rules, such as those established by St. Benedict, and emphasize communal life, discipline, and a commitment to their beliefs. Monks usually engage in practices like meditation, study, and communal worship, and they may contribute to society through teaching, hospitality, or charitable work. Their lifestyle is characterized by simplicity and devotion, aiming to deepen their spiritual connection and provide a supportive environment for growth.
