• Our private prayer is the prayer that we do alone with the Lord. Mental prayer is quiet reflection in the presence of God which draws us closer to Him. It nourishes our interior life and prepares us to share in the mystery of the Eucharist and the liturgy of the hours more intimately and with greater profit. Daily, each sister spends at least 1 hour in mental prayer at the time and place of her choice. Each sister is a unique person with a unique personal vocation, so each has their own devotions and practices in prayer.
