Contemplative monks and nuns

The Carthusians consecrate their lives entirely to prayer and seeking God in the secret of their hearts. They intercede for the Church and for the salvation of the whole world. Their life finds its balance around three axes:

• silence, solitude, living in cell;

• prayer in common in the church, three times a day, as well as some fraternal meetings;

• their own liturgy, adapted to their style of life and the small number of religious.
