This Lent, What You Give Becomes Something Greater

During Lent, we are called to pray, to fast, and to give alms—not as burdens, but as invitations to draw closer to God.

At St. Benedict’s Abbey, what you give becomes part of something greater. It becomes prayer lifted to God, hospitality offered to every guest as Christ, and guidance for those seeking peace, healing, and vocation.

As monks, we strive to live with “one foot in heaven and one on earth”—rooted in prayer, yet present to the needs of others. Your generosity makes this life possible.

In the Rule of St. Benedict, we are reminded to seek not our own good, but the good of others. Your gift lives out that spirit. What you offer is received with gratitude—and returned, through our life of prayer and work, for the good of many.

This Lent, consider making your almsgiving a gift to the Abbey.

Dominus providebit — the Lord will provide.
