Benet Hill Monastery

We are a contemporary Benedictine Monastic presence.
We provide the sacred space of hospitality and the use of our human and material resources in education, spirituality, and other viable ministries. We do this with all God's people and with a special emphasis for women.

As we embrace the coming New Year of 2012, it is our prayer that the wonderful messages of comfort, promise and hope proclaimed by Isaiah, sustain you. In the New Testament readings of the Magnificat, Mary proclaimed, "For he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant." During that time the land was occupied by the Roman Magisterium and Mary notes that God's favor rests with the powerless and disenfranchised. Today many of you may feel powerless and even disenfranchised with unemployment, financial helplessness and family cares. Jesus Christ could not even find rest, but in the simplicity of a stable. It seems we have lost sight of what is meaningful in the bustle of the season-we are too busy. Perhaps we are being called to the simplicity of a stable. We are being called to acknowledge that God is in the powerlessness.

Christmas Manger

Please know that we stand with you and your loved ones during this Sacred Time of profound grace in prayer as we move into the final days of Advent. As the sisters gather four times a day for communal prayer, we are remembering you and your intentions in our Christmas Novena which began on December 16 and ends on Christmas Eve.

May we rest in the simplicity of what we have with gratitude,

Sister Clare Carr
Prioress
