PLAN OF LIFE FOR LAY CISTERCIANS OF GETHSEMANI ABBEY

Contemplation is the highest expression of man's intellectual and spiritual life. It is that life itself, fully awake, fully active, fully aware that it is alive. It is spiritual wonder. It is spontaneous awe at the sacredness of life, of being. It is gratitude for life, for awareness and for being. It is a vivid realization of the fact that life and being in us proceed from an invisible, transcendent and infinitely abundant source. Contemplation is, above all, awareness of the reality of that Source. (Thomas Merton)

We invite you to prayerfully read and ponder this Plan of Life.
