Prayer for Vocations

God of Dreams…
God of Reality…
You have called
Women and men of faith
In every age

To share “The Dream”
To make your presence
A reality
By living the Gospel
In Religious Community.

Open the hearts
Of women and men today
To risk dreaming
In the midst
Of the tensions of our time.

Give them LISTENING ears
And GENEROUS spirits
To answer “Here I Am!”

So that your presence
Continues to be a reality
In our own time and place.
In Jesus name, we pray.

Sister Beth Carrender, OSB

Monastic Sampler

Are you a single woman who is seeking God? Are you attracted to communal prayer, an atmosphere of silence and living together in a family environment? Have you heard the yearning to live your life for God within your deepest self?

Within the context of a weekend retreat you can explore how the Benedictine Sisters of Pittsburgh might be where God is leading you.

  • Experience monastic life and spirituality
  • Explore "lectio divina,” reflective prayer, contemplation and action, integration of prayer, work, leisure
  • Pray with us
  • Meet founders Saints Benedict and Scholastica and our Sisters, Benedictines here and now
  • Come and listen to the God who calls

Pittsburgh Benedictine Sisters are guided by the Gospels and the Rule of Benedict.
We are monastic women, centered in prayer, affirmed in community,
challenged in ministry, alive in the Word of God.
