Our life as monks
Worth Abbey is an English Benedictine monastery, a sanctuary where the Gospel of Christ is witnessed to through a community life of prayer and service.
The “Our life” pages give you some insight into the way we live as monks including information on our Abbot, the other members of the Community, our life of liturgical prayer (Divine Office), Mission, Private Prayer and hospitality.
Becoming a monk takes several years and our website gives more information on the steps along the way.
“Let them prefer nothing whatever to Christ, and may he bring us all together to everlasting life.” (RB 72:11-12)
