christ on cross

 

 

 

 

 

THOMAS MERTON
Christ is our life.  He is the whole meaning of our life.  The whole subtsance of the monastic life. Nothing in the monastery makes sense if we forget this great truth.

The Benedictine monks of Marmion are brothers in Christ, brought together by the Divine Call, sharing their lives and seeking God under the guidance of the Holy Rule of St. Benedict and the inspiration of the Gospels.

Their prayer, both personal and liturgical, is the most important aspect in their monastic life. In the works of the monastery the gifts of each monk are cherished and are placed at the service of the community and the Church. they appreciate and reverence the material goods of the monastery as vessels of the altar and witness to their poverty through the simplicity of their lives. The monks strive to see Christ in everyone, especially in their brothers and in their guests.

Marmion Monks' daily prayer includes Lauds (morning prayer, Mass, Holy Hour, Vespers (evening prayer) and Vigiels (Hour of Readings) and Compline (night prayer). Visit the Liturgial Schedule for more information.
