Community Meditations
We spend a good part of each day in prayer and meditation. Our prayer takes many forms and part of the purpose of our Benedictine life is to make all aspects of our lives acts of worship and prayer. In prayer we seek to make ourselves ready to hear God’s word and to act on it.
We hope you will join in our prayer life. The web is a wonderful medium for prayer since all prayer is in some sense virtual. And you can send your requests for prayer to Holy Cross. While we can not answer every e-mail, we do honor every prayer request.
