With Summer Comes
Renewal and Life

The Sisters of St. Benedict of St. Paul's Monastery pray that this is a time of refreshment, renewal and life for you.

As the prioress of St. Paul’s Monastery, I ask for your prayers for all of the Sisters as we continue the monastic community’s ministry of prayer and loving service.

If you would like to renew your own prayer and loving service, consider joining the Sisters for prayer or a making retreat at our new monastery at 2675 Benet Road, on the campus guests and sisters alike have come to love.

S. Lucia Schwickerath OSB, Prioress

The Wisdom Prayer

Guiding the Sisters' Conversation for 14 Years

I, Wisdom, am with you.

I am a light that will never grow dim.

Love me and you will see me.

Look for me and you will find me.

At the slightest indication of your desire for me,

I will make myself known to you.

Watch for me at the very start of what you are about, and you will have no trouble.

You will find me, ever present, sitting at your table. Even thinking about my presence will help you.

Be aware of my presence, my concern,

my willingness to inspire and to instruct you.

As you meet with each other, I will meet with each and all of you.

Wisdom 6.12-17
