Our Mission
We, the Sisters of the Order of Saint Benedict in St. Joseph, Minn., are a monastic community of women who seek God in our daily lives according to the Gospel and the Rule of Benedict. Through our ministry of prayer, work and community living, we listen and respond to the needs of the Church and the world.
Prayer Requests
As a Benedictine monastic community, a significant part of our mission is prayer. Is there someone or something you would like us to pray for? You’re invited to share your special intentions with us. You will be remembered during our daily prayer of Liturgy of the Hours, and your request will be shared on a community bulletin board seen by the sisters every day.
It is our privilege to pray for you. God bless you!
Daily Meditation for May 20, 2024
/in Daily Meditations/by Alyssa Tasto“And God saw that it was good.” We heard this phrase often during the Easter Vigil. It helps us focus on the many gifts that are present in our normal surroundings and yet can so easily be missed: the branch was sprouting small green buds, a young bunny crossed my path, the breeze was refreshing, several robins were singing in unison. Both God and I saw that it was good. A young child rolled past on his bike, the young girl was walking her dog, two college students were enjoying a walk, an older man was sitting in the sun with a smile on his face. Both God and I saw that it was good. A child recovered from a serious car accident, Mike and Mary have a new baby boy, Sue decided to enter a religious community. God is continually sending us messages and signs. May we become more aware of his constant goodness.
