God bless all here

Welcome to the Center for Benedictine Life! Physically located at the Monastery of St. Gertrude in Idaho, the Center for Benedictine Life reaches out to you, wherever you are, to offer an ancient take on spirituality in the tradition of St. Benedict.

It is not so difficult to lead a holy life! You knock, and the door opens.

Okay, it takes practice, we admit it. And we can show you how. There are so many ways to reach the Holy, and Benedictine practice encompasses many of them: sitting in silence, walking in nature, praying the psalms, creating icons, loving thy neighbor. One day, you may look back and realize that you have been praying without ceasing for a month—a year?, and didn’t even realize it.
