The Novitiate at the Abbey

 

Entry into the novitiate is marked by the "taking of the habit". Wearing the white habit of the novices constitutes a strong symbolic act which manifests the desire of the person who makes this gesture to continue his journey of discernment and of experiencing monastic life, in this community and in this place.

For its part, by giving her this new habit, the community undertakes to offer the novice everything she will need to live this new stage which consists of "a time of personal integration into Cistercian life".

"Through prayer, asceticism, progress in self-knowledge and participation in the life of the community, the novices have a deeper personal experience of what life involves according to the Cistercian" conversatio ". They must continue their human and spiritual development and grow in a personal relationship with Christ. "N ° 29 Training Charter of the O.C.S.O.
