“The grace of the Holy Spirit
gathers solitaries together to form a communion in love,
in the likeness of the Church; which remains one, though
spread throughout the world.” Statutes 21.1

Carthusian solitude is not total, but is
balanced by a share of community life, in particular by
the conventual Eucharist, the long night vigils and
Vespers
On Sunday, the union of hearts is more
visibly expressed and strengthened by the midday meal in
common and a recreation. The walk permits both fraternal
meeting and relaxation in contact with nature.
