The Contemplative  Vocation
Christ still walks the earth. He still mingles with the crowds, comforting the broken-hearted and strengthening those whom the years have treated harshly. The thousands of religious men and women who have dedicated themselves to education and the works of mercy in schools and hospitals, radiate His love everywhere, and in their own lives make tangible the truth of His promise, "Behold, I am with you all days, even unto the consummation of the world."

Christ still prays, too, On the heights, far from the ways of men. Contemplative religious, called to a life "hidden with Christ in God," spend themselves in prayer and solitude to keep alive that burning fire which Our Lord came to cast upon the earth.

Guest House Monasteries are usually founded in places of great natural beauty. No wonder people looking for something missing in their lives have instinctively been drawn to make a Retreat at monasteries where they can get back in touch with their deepest selves and their God-given destiny.
