The Cistercian nuns of Glencairn Abbey, Lismore, Co Waterford.
The monastic community of Cistercian or Trappistine nuns of St Mary's Abbey, Glencairn, Co Waterford, live an austere life based on the Rule of St Benedict, which has barely changed in over 1,000 years. Believing in the power of deep, contemplative prayer, they pursue it wholeheartedly. Their deep inner lives, distinct daily rhythms and shared spiritual journey become a continuous prayer of life to God and for the world. The nuns gather seven times each day to sing the Offices of Vigils, Lauds, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers and Compline. Listen here to some of these beautiful services.
