Prairie Life
 The Benedictine Sisters of Sacred Heart
Monastery make their home on the prairie of western North Dakota.
Our monastic life of prayer and work follows the natural rhythm
of the prairie, with times for working and resting, growing and harvesting,
living and dying. The “promise of the prairie” reflects
God’s sustaining power in our lives, even in times of uncertainty
and doubt. Through the cycles of nature, the prairie often appears
weakened from drought, heat, ice, and snow. But new life always
emerges again, as the prairie turns a lush, verdant green, wild
with flowers blooming more profusely than ever.
With our emphasis on environmental stewardship, our beautiful, pastoral
property, and the infusion of quietude by the Spirit and abundant
blessings we enjoy, our life on the prairie is especially fertile
ground for the contemplation of the divine mystery we all inhabit.
