The story of the Monastery of Sainte-Madeleine is a liturgical story. From the outset, it was the treasure of the Latin liturgy and Gregorian Chant amassed over centuries which captivated the monks. An art of praying which seemed to them newer and fresher than more recent innovations. A school of prayer in which they felt the desire and the strength to approach God through prayer. In this, they are doubtless followers of the initial intuition of their founders.

“During the office, let yourself be taken up by it. Then, continue to be drawn by that which you have gathered during the office. God is bending down to you at that moment.”
