Bring your gifts and your life experience and your wisdom.
But come only if you are prepared to accept us as we are — broken yet bonded, sinful, confused yet single-minded., laughing and sometimes crying.
In return we will do our best to accept you as you are, with your frailties and failures, as well as your gifts and experience and strengths.
If you come, your stay with us may be brief or it may be for the rest of your life. Together we will try to discern God's will.
But whatever the length of your stay we believe that it will be an essential part of your journey with Christ into God, and that by travelling with us you will have enriched our journeys too.
If you decide that God may be calling you to this way of life, and if we are in agreement, a period of discernment will follow. There is no binding commitment at this stage.
If, after several years, you and we believe that you are indeed called to live the rest of your life as a member of the Society of All Saints, you will be invited to commit yourself to a life of shared simplicity under the vow of poverty, to channel your energies of loving under the vow of celibacy, and to seek to know and do the will of God under the vow of obedience. This may lead to life vows.
GET THEE TO A MONASTERY!
