Love of the Community

Love of the Community is a key treasure we seek in our Cistercian contemplative life.  We are human and have our weaknesses, but every day is the day to start anew. We learn to love both individual Sisters and the group as a whole, but also we pray that our love will go out to people all over the world. We desire their good, whether their need is physical, mental, or spiritual. Really praying for this must be backed by deep faith.  Love is really what God is all about, and the power that enables us to love in return, and that is the greatest mystery and joy.  When we love one another, we see God at work in our beloved communtiy.
