DAILY LIVING
LISTENING TO THE WORD
		The source of our prayer and of our life together is the Word of God. In an attitude of attentive listening and joyful praise we celebrate God's message of truth in the Eucharist, the Liturgy of the Hours, in periods of solitary prayer and in the meditative praying of the rosary. Study, especially of the Scriptures, is an integral part of our Dominican vocation. It serves as an indispensable source of nourishment for unceasing prayer and for the work of the Spirit transforming us in Christ. Our library contains books in many subjects and we are continually up-dating it. We broaden our mind and perspective through periodic lectures and workshops in our monastery.

SERVING THROUGH OUR WORK
		Daily work provides a necessary balance to our life of prayer and is a service to the community. Our work takes various forms. An effort is made to develop each sister's talents to the benefit of the community. Our gift shop contains many items made by the sisters, such as: jams, bread, pickles, crocheted items, hand painted greeting cards, photography cards, needlepoint, artificial flower arrangements, and more. We sew habits for the Dominican Friars, and liturgical items upon request. Creative writing, music, gardening, and household chores provide further opportunities for each sister to contribute her talents to the community. Aware that we live in an affluent society, we have chosen to live simply and frugally to witness to the proper place material things have in relationship to the things of God.
