Christ is risen!
- Following the rhythm of life of the brothers and sisters of the Monastic Fraternities of Jerusalem, the brothers will welcome you from Tuesday afternoon to Friday afternoon for a retreat time where you will share their daily life and their experience of God.
- In an atmosphere of silence, you will be able to take personal time for prayer and reflection.
- An oratory and private gardens, on the terrace and away from the flow of visitors, will be accessible to you.
- Good physical health is necessary (300 steps to climb several times a day to reach the abbey church).
The day is structured by:
- participation in the liturgical offices (Lauds, Mass, and Vespers),
- engagement with the Holy Scriptures,
- a time of communal service,
- sharing the community's table,
- and part of our common life.

- Welcome for the retreat takes place on Holy Wednesday evening.
- The recollection ends on Easter Sunday in the afternoon.
