A group of Benedictine nuns in Sweden have set up their community to be a spiritual refuge for anyone who is in existential need and struggling with life in modern secular societies.
Residing at Heliga Hjärtas Kloster (Sacred Heart Convent) since 1997 – a convent originally founded by a group of evangelical sisters – the Benedictine nuns are “welcoming all those who are searching, the weary and those who long to draw near to God”, reports Vatican News.
“We want to bring Jesus into the world like Mary,” says Sister Katharina, Abbess of the Benedictine Monastery of Omberg. The abbess sums up what drives her community as a life lived in the footsteps of Christ, marked by silence, hospitality and a profound spiritual foundation.
