“Our Lord wants interior souls, He wants generous souls! He wants souls who will apply themselves to contemplation, and will not count the cost with God, who are great and noble in the practice of virtue, who closely imitate the religious virtues of the first disciples of St. Benedict, whose only thirst is sanctity!” – Mother Marie Cronier
“The secret to perseverance is threefold: oratio, oratio, oratio! (prayer, prayer, prayer)”
– Mother Marie Cronier
“Rest assured that the most powerful means which lead us to contemplation is the liturgy. Our forefathers were right in calling the psalter “meditatio”; we find in it everything which our soul needs, from the most sublime bursts of love to the deepest sighs of desire and repentance.” – Mother Marie Cronier
“St. Benedict calls ‘OPUS DEI’, ‘WORK OF GOD’, the celebration of divine praise. The intimate foundation of the religious state is the continuous and most perfect possible practice of the first commandment: Adore God and love Him with all one’s heart. This is the reason why St. Benedict writes in his Rule that “Nothing must be preferred to the work of God”, (Nihil operi Dei praeponatur.) Everything in God’s plan relates to the celebration of God’s glory.”
– Dom Romain Banquet
