Life of Profession

After 4 years of novitiate, you ready to make first vows make the monastic vows of ¡°stability, fidelity to the monastic life, and obedience¡± as Benedictine in the presence of God and the community. From this moment on, with the grace of God, you will live a monastic life, committing yourself to whatever God wills you to do. Following and imitating Jesus Christ without ceasing, the life of profession is fulfilled in a certain community whose destiny and life is same with Jesus¡¯.

Temporary Vows

5 years and 6 months of the juniorate period between the first vows and final vows is the continuation of the formation begun from novitiate. It is time of strengthening your fidelity to the unique Benedictine vows. For final vows, you discern your vocation and purify its intentions. You also internalize the basic values of the spirit of gospel and the life of profession
