Trappistine nuns

Trappistine nuns are members of the Order of Cistercian Nuns of the Strict Observance, commonly called Trappists. They are a Catholic contemplative monastic community dedicated to a life of prayer, silence, work, and humility. Their daily routine includes praying the Liturgy of the Hours, meditating, and engaging in manual labor such as farming or crafts. Trappist nuns emphasize austerity and simplicity, aiming to deepen their relationship with God through communal living and spiritual discipline. They often operate monasteries, farms, and businesses, contributing to local communities while maintaining a quiet, contemplative lifestyle focused on spiritual growth.
