Cistercian Nuns


“As soon as the signal for the time

 of the Divine Office is heard,

let everyone,

 leaving whatever he has in his hands,

hasten with all speed,

yet with gravity,

 that there may be  no cause for levity.

Therefore, let nothing be preferred

 to the Work of God.”


The Holy Rule of St. Benedict

Chapter 43
