Formation House for Contemplative Life

To live the Monastic life completely, the contemplative sisters must first be formed in a life completely ordered toward contemplation, dedicating themselves solely to God in solitude and silence, in assiduous prayer and generous penance. It is important for the sisters in monastic formation "to always keep the desire to learn, to maintain a great disposition regarding formation and the freedom of allowing oneself to be formed," (Monastic Rule, 155.) in order to consecrate their lives to "contemplate and live the mystery of the Incarnate Word in the greatest manifestation of His self-emptying which is the cross that will enable them to give everything and give themselves entirely..." (Monastic Rule, 6.) in the contemplative branch of the Institute.
