COMMUNITY OF THE SISTERS OF THE LOVE OF GOD    SLG

 

 A contemplative community with a strong monastic tradition founded in 1906, which seeks to witness to the priority of God and to respond to the love of God – God’s love for us and our love for God.  We believe that we are called to live a substantial degree of withdrawal, in order to give ourselves to a spiritual work of prayer which, beginning and ending in the praise and worship of God, is essential for the peace and well-being of the world.   Through offering our lives to God within the Community, and through prayer and daily life together, we seek to deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ and one another.

 The Community has always drawn upon the spirituality of Carmel; life and prayer in silence and solitude is an important dimension in our vocation.   The Community also draws from other traditions; therefore our Rule is not specifically Carmelite.  Another important ingredient is an emphasis on the centrality of Divine Office and Eucharist together in choir, inspired partly by the Benedictine way of life.
