How to Live Like a Monk at Home

Through Scripture, silence, prayer, reflection, teachings from the Rule of Saint Benedict, and simple daily practices, you will learn to slow down, listen more deeply, and grow closer to God.

Complete a final examination of your entire week. Look back at the seven themes: God’s presence, listening, humility, work as prayer, embracing the Cross, charity, and gratitude. Consider where you changed, what challenged you, and which practices helped you grow closer to God. End with three minutes of silence. Then choose one practice from this journey that you will continue each day.

The seven-day journey may be complete, but the deeper invitation is just beginning. Do not simply finish the program. Carry its rhythm of prayer, peace, discipline, and love into the rest of your life.
