Nice website about monastic life

[NadaTeTurbe]

I posted this link in french a few month ago, but I just saw it's in english  It's the french "service des moniales" (a structure who took care of the promotion of the contemplative monastic life.) 

http://www.service-des-moniales.cef.fr/en/the-monastic-life/ Here there's the essential about monastic life : prayer, silence, solitude, fraternal life, lectio divina, study, manual work 
http://www.service-des-moniales.cef.fr/en/the-orders/ and here the main orders. Very usefull if you want to learn about the monastic orders. 

There's a lot of pictures !

I have found this wonderful quote on their website:

Quote

Personal prayer lies at the heart of monastic life : “a conversation with a friend, alone with the loved one by whom you know you are loved” Sr Teresa of Avila. 

How beautiful! Thanks @NadaTeTurbe for sharing this website with us!
