A MONASTIC LIFE IN A CONSTANT SEARCH FOR GOD…

Our monastic life could be defined as a process of perpetual conversion as expressed in our vows of poverty, chastety and obedience. Our aim is to be a sign of the fullness of life and holiness of the Church at the heart of the mystery of Christ, to devote ourselves to the growth of the kingdom and with that aim to be transfigured in all our being by the love of Christ.

… IN PRAISE OF HIS GLORY

Divine worship springs from the benediction which has its source in Eucharist. We give thanks to the Father through the Son in the Spirit that we are among those for whom Christ rose at Easter.

Divine worship, the complete praise of God, is in fact the voice of the spouse addressed to her husband. It is the prayer of Christ , which he, through the sacrifice of his body, never ceases to offer to his Father.

We invite to take part all who love or wish to discover the beauty of God and of his house.

of the Sacred Heart (Sacré-Cœur)

We contemplate Jesus-Christ who, in an act of infinite love offers himself to the Father and gives us his own Spirit. All our life can thus become a spiritual sacrifice for the Church and the salvation of the world.

The Eucharist is the center of our life as illustrated on the altar-piece of our chapel of which the unifying element is the lamb slaughtered and conquering which brings us to the Father in the Communion of Saints.

The Eucharistic adoration demands that we should enter fully into the plan of God's love for mankind, manifested in Jesus-Christ crucified and risen from the dead. Worship is simultaneously a preparation for an act of thanksgiving for the gift of the Eucharist, a welcoming and an acceptance of the life of Christ in ourselves.

of Montmartre

Montmartre is the place of our foundation (cf. : our history), the place where, as in other sanctuaries, we live our vocation to the apostolic life :

APOSTOLIC LIFE : this springs from our monastic life : the spiritual and material activities of the houses of prayer. Our Priories meet the need of our contemporaries for silent prayer, spiritual renewal and fellowship. Often labouring under heavy loads, they are seeking strength and a response to their need of absolute. They can, if they wish, find a spiritual guidance, particularly for young people who are often seeking a sense to their life.
