The Cistercian Order of the Strict Observance is a monastic institute wholly ordered to contemplation.  The monks dedicate themselves to the worship of God in a hidden life within the monastery under the Rule of St. Benedict.  They lead a monastic way of life in solitude and silence, in assiduous prayer and joyful penitence, thus rendering to the divine majesty a service that is at once humble and noble.
