The community of Monks live a contemplative life of prayer, simple manual labour and works of charity. living harmoniously with one another, as Mahatma Gandhi wrote. (* "The rose transmits its scent without a movement. I have a definite feeling that if you want us to experience the aroma of Christianity you must copy the rose. It irresistibly draws people to itself and the scent remains with them. A rose does not preach ... it simply spreads its fragrance. ) Sancta Maria is the rose in the garden of Eden.
