Pray with Us Daily from wherever you are

Praying the hours of prayer is an ancient way of orienting ourselves around God’s continual presence throughout the day. We join Christ-followers all over the world in daily praying Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer (from wherever you are). Download the guide Common Word + Common Prayer which includes a two-year Scripture reading plan and short forms for daily Morning, Midday, Evening and Bedtime Prayer (Compline). Daily prayers are meant to be prayed in community: we encourage you to invite a friend, coworker or family member to join you!

If you prefer, this link takes you to a longer, more traditional version of the Liturgy of the Daily Office. This site updates daily all the prayers and scripture readings and is customizable to your preferences.

Monastery Day

“Prayer, work, and holy leisure [lectio divina] are the three legs that support the spiritual foundation of [monastic life]… Prayer makes us conscious of the presence of God, work makes us co-creators of the kingdom, holy leisure gives us time for the reflective reading of Scripture” (Joan Chittister). Join us at the Abbey for a day of prayer, silent work and Scripture meditation. Come for all or part of the day (schedule below). Bring your lunch, Bible, journal (and work gloves if you’d like to garden). Or, bring a personal art project to work on. See Calendar for all 2023 dates.
