“In silence and stillness, let them earnestly seek the face of the Lord…”
—Constitutions of the Nuns of the Order of Preachers
We are cloistered, contemplative Dominican nuns in Summit, New Jersey. Our monastery has the special privilege of both perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament joined with the prayer of the rosary. We call this the Adoring Rosary. Through our Lady’s eyes and heart, we contemplate the Word of God who made Himself our Food for Eternal Life.
The nuns seek God…
-
by observing the norms of the purely contemplative life,
-
by maintaining their withdrawal from the world by enclosure and silence,
-
by working diligently,
-
studying the truth eagerly,
-
searching the Scriptures with ardent heart,
-
praying intently,
-
willingly practicing penance,
-
pursuing communion through their manner of government,
-
in purity of conscience,
-
and the joy of sisterly concord,
-
in freedom of spirit.
