COME TO THE MOUNTAIN is a celebration of the 60th Anniversary of St. Benedict?s Monastery, a community living-in and passing-on the ancient Benedictine tradition (as interpreted by the Cistercian Order) in an isolated mountain valley near Snowmass, Colorado. Monastic life is structured around prayer. In the monastery we first establish the times for prayer, then we plan the rest of the day?s activities. Prayer is the anchor. The monks aspire through the daily life of their Cistercian community to be transformed in mind and heart by embodying Christ Jesus in ways appropriate to our times.
