Who assists the Nuns in the labor of silence

Every time we cross the threshold of the house of God,
we are entering a heavenly place…
There, within the divine palace,
the mystery of the Kingdom of God is celebrated.
‘All mortal flesh falls silent’ in reverence and awe,
so that the mystery of God’s Word may be heard.

~ Saint John Chrysostom ~

The transformation that occurs in monasteries is God’s work, and no human effort
can bring it about.
Nevertheless it is a work in which
the monk or nun has a role to play.




~ Father Michael Casey, OCSO ~

The Lord orders all things out of love for man
in the depths of His wisdom,
and distributes to all
what is profitable for them.

~ Saint John Chrysostom ~

A Christian knows that the soul exists

And there is another life,

And he sees everything

Through the prism of eternity.

~ Saint John Chrysostom ~





Holy Annunciation Monastery belongs to the Ruthenian Byzantine Eparchy of
Passaic, New Jersey. Eastern Monasticism (as Pope St. John Paul explains in Vita
Consecrata) came to the West via St. Benedict, Patriarch of the West, so his
Rule and monastic tradition is our surest way of fidelity to early coenobitic
monasticism. We follow the Monastic Rule of Saint Benedict (530) and witness to
the monasticism of the Great Undivided Church (prior to the Great Schism of
1045.) In Vita Consecrata we hear a summons to work for Church-unity. The
Gospels are our foundational principle. We are heirs to the Eastern Tradition of
the Desert Fathers, of St. Anthony and St. Pachomius, St. Basil and the monastic
Rules of John Cassian and St. Benedict  who brought this Tradition to the West.
