The Guesthouse |
version française |
| According to the ancient Benedictine tradition a monastery welcomes those who seek the silence in order to rediscover the presence of God, even find themselves in hearing His Word, in living with a community and in its rhythm, in a climate of recollection. |
| "All guests who present themselves are to be received as Christ, for he will say, "I was a stranger and you took me in"." [Rule of Saint Benedict] |
| A time of retrait | |
|
The aim of a sojourn at the guesthouse is a spiritual contact and renewal. The guesthouse is not a summer house nor a place to find some rest. Nor is it a motel found in the midst of a journey. A retreat is a favorable time for reading, prayer, meditation, physical relaxation. A climate of silence is preserved in the localities in and around the monastery. Having become rare in our world, our guests hope to find it here.
|
 |
|
Our guests are invited to participate freely, at their own rhythm, in the prayer of the community where they are received. If one wishes, it is possible to meet with a monk for spiritual guidance A stay in the guesthouse is limited to a week.
