The truth about Community Life
Living in a monastic community brings both companionship and solitude. It's a perfect combination, and probably the only one of its kind. Private time allows one to do lectio divina, meditation, and your own work. Community time together brings companionship, support, and wonderful times together. Imagine living with people whose core beliefs are similar to your own. Imagine conversation on issues where you are free to express your opinions freely and let your opinions be influenced by others insights. The experience is unique, bringing much joy and peace.
