Monastic Practices

From Introduction:

The external practices of the monastic life are directly connected with our search for God. These practices -- sacred reading, liturgical prayer, work, silence, asceticism, and many others -- are concrete ways and means by which we in monasteries seek God. In and through these practices we express our spiritual values and ideals, and daily live out our vowed commitment to God. Our monastic life in its outward practices as well as its inward spirit is totally orientated towards seeking and finding God.
