| The Eucharist |
| |
 |
In the celebration of the Eucharist, the
community, together with other members of the body of
Christ, recognise and receive Christ into ourselves. Each
day it is our joy and privilege to celebrate Christ’s
gift of himself to us hidden in the forms of bread and
wine. |
|
| The Divine Office |
| |
| In the Divine Office the hours of the day are consecrated to God. We come before God as a community, seven times in the day and night to praise Him, to intercede for the world and its peoples, to listen and simply to be with Him. The church bell calls us to prayer, as the voice of God, calls to us to 'listen with the ear of our heart". |

04.30 am : Vigils (Watching
and waiting for the coming of the Light)
06.30 am : Lauds (Praise to Christ
risen, ascended, glorified)
08.15 am : Terce ("Come Holy Spirit,
fill the hearts of your faithful people and kindle in
them the fire of your love")
11.45 am : Sext (Praise to Christ who
forgives our sins)
02.10 pm : None (Praise to Christ who
through His death has conquered death and set us free)
05.00 pm : Vespers (Praise to Christ
our light, who is with us always)
07.30 pm : Compline ("Into your
hands, O Lord, I commit my spirit . . .")
Through psalmody, scripture readings and the simple
beauty of the chant the Office expresses and forms the
inner life of the community and of each monk and nun. |

| Lectio
Divina, Meditation and Prayer |
| |
| Approximately three hours a day are given to
Lectio Divina, Meditation and Prayer. Lectio Divina is
a prayerful reading of Scripture, the principle of which
is to listen to what God is saying to the soul through
His words in the Scripture (or at times some other inspired
book). |
