__________________________________________________________________________
The Benedictine way is to seek God in communal life and to respond in prayer and ministry.
Our Charism
We the Sisters of Benedict
believe that ours is a community
called in the Spirit
to respond as warm personal human beings
through Jesus the Christ
by praising the Giver of Life
and by sharing this gift with each other
and with our varied communities.
We believe that we give and receive life
by sharing
Prayer and Study
Celebration and Service
Our Mission
We are Benedictine women
who together
are practicing the call of the Gospel.
Committed to communal prayer, manual labor and service,
we nurture peace in our broken world
by sharing God's compassionate healing with all.
Our Vision
We the Benedictine Community of Red Plains Monastery
dare to imagine a global consciousness
which cultivates
purpose balance and harmony in our daily lives
celebrated in our communal liturgies
Our prophetic imagination
awakens the need to pursue with others
a future
where our planet is not compromised
by an over-consumptive society
where we face the hard realities of institutional inequities
where we live non-violently in our passion for a just-peace
We are a contemplative people
rich in the diversity
- of our members
of our interfaith connections
of our possibilities
to look deeply into the signs of our times
to respond courageously to challenges we face
to love tenderly
as we live and move in that Divine Energy
present in all created things
Our practice of values found in the Rule of Benedict
establishes
- a stability of place
a sense of ecological sustainability
and restoration of the dignity of manual labor
to the crises in relationships and social mores
we have an ardent desire to share its teachings
proven to be applicable to all walks of life
That In All Things God May Be Glorified
