ST. PAUL'S MONASTERY
A Community of Benedictine Women Religious

NewMonasteryView

New Monastery,
Unbroken Welcome

The Sisters of St. Paul's Monastery will continue to welcome guests for prayer, retreat, and a stop in the gift shop, even as construction begins for the new monastery and roadways.

Please join us in the spiritual practices of flexibility and attentiveness to God's presence amidst a transition that will include the sound of equipment and a little dust on our shoes.

Thank you for sharing this journey with the community of St. Paul's Monastery.

S. Carol Rennie OSB, Prioress

The Wisdom Prayer

Guiding the Sisters' Conversation for 14 Years

I, Wisdom, am with you.

I am a light that will never grow dim.

Love me and you will see me.

Look for me and you will find me.

At the slightest indication of your desire for me,

I will make myself known to you.

Watch for me at the very start of

what you are about,

and you will have no trouble.

You will find me, ever present,

sitting at your table.

Even thinking about my presence will help you.

Be aware of my presence, my concern,

my willingness to inspire and to instruct you.

As you meet with each other,

I will meet with each and all of you.

Wisdom 6.12-17
