Weekend "choosing to be free"

"How do we find the courage to choose? Where can we find the courage to choose and make wise decisions?": these are the questions Pope Leo XIV posed to young people from around the world at the Jubilee of Youth in July 2025.
‍The Benedictine Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Montmartre invite you to this special time in the heart of Advent to explore these questions, learn some keys to discernment, particularly in light of the teachings of the popes and the treasures of the Rule of Saint Benedict. Choosing is a fundamental and constructive human act, one that cannot be improvised but is well worth the effort: choosing leads down a path of freedom and happiness.
‍Silent adoration and the prayer of the liturgical offices will support this journey toward the deepest heart of each person.
‍It is also possible to meet with a sister for a more personal conversation.
In short, during Advent, a weekend to ask the right questions and discover a path to happiness. From Saturday at 9:30 a.m. to Sunday at 5:00 p.m. And all of this in the beautiful setting of Montmartre, to gain a little perspective.
