Restless are our hearts, until they rest in - Gast im Kloster

What we offer
Praying the Hours
Already in the creation story time measured in
days is the time of God, of His doing and His
rest. Prayer is the answer to the doings of God,
to everything He does for His people. When prayer is
structured according to times of the day, it helps to
structure the thoughts of mankind. Following the example
of Jesus, the first Christians traditionally used to pray
together or by themselves during certain times of the
day. Out of this, a rule evolved that especially priests and
religious observe today.
Psalms are a way to express the love, the joy, the pain
and the gratitude of all people and all generations. Hymns
and readings from the Holy Bible are other parts of this
rhythmical prayers.
Communities and abbeys in this brochure offering the
note “Praying the Hours” welcome guests to join them
in prayer, either actively or passively. Some orders prefer
to pray in Latin. Many nuns and monks of the Klösterreich
community offer prayers “In the Middle of the Day”
at 12.00 p.m. during the summer months. You are best
advised to address each abbey for further details and
modalities.
