Seeking God

· Christo omnino nihil praeponant.R.B. 72,11
· Ut in omnibus glorificetur Deus.! R.B. 57,9
Sisters pronounce the monastic vows of "obedience, stability, and conversion of life (Conversatio Morum)." This means, making vows to live in accordance with the Benedictine Rule, to seek God in community to remain in the monastery, and to follow the teaching and example of our Lord Jesus Christ in all things. Thus, it is written in the rule; 'prefer nothing to the love of Christ' (RB 72,11) 'so that in all things God may be glorified' (1Pet 4:11),
(RB 57,9). Sisters commit themselves to our Congregation, in order to be more deeply united with the life and mission of the Church.
Missionary Benedictine Sisters of Tutzing
Reichenbach 1899
The men community started at Reichenbach, but the site was too remote, and in 1887 the community moved to St. Ottilien Abbey in Oberbayern. Women religious have formed part of the Missionary Benedictine enterprise from the beginning, based at first at St. Ottilien but the sisters developed independently and today form the Congregation of Missionary Benedictine Sisters of Tutzing.
