Monastic liturgy

Monastic liturgy refers to the structured, communal worship practices followed by monks or nuns in a monastery. It includes daily prayers, psalms, hymns, scripture readings, and rituals designed to foster spiritual growth and a sense of unity with God. These routines are often highly ordered and repeated at specific times of the day, such as morning, midday, evening, and night, emphasizing discipline and dedication. The liturgy serves as both a form of devotion and a way to sustain the monastic community’s spiritual focus throughout their daily life.
