God Alone

The word monastery indicates a place where one lives for God Alone.  

But what does this mean?

To live within a community, yet to do everything to please God and not one's peers.

It is to be in love and to do everything in union with a loving God.

Let us ponder this theme and strive to live it out: to live for God alone.

Can we live it in our day to day lives as lay people?  Can we offer to God our works and not only our prayers?

To live for God alone.
