YOU'RE INVITED |
The Monastic life is a way of life that unites the soul intimately to God. In its path of discovery the power of prayer transforms and obtains that living faith that will change hearts. Sublime in its simplicity it radiates to the whole world. The weapon of prayer conquers.
Our simplicity of life is perhaps a new emphasis on this form of living in modern times. Shedding the complexities of our American way of life, strips us of burdens one often longs to be relieved of.
The mountain trail is rocky, but the climb is peaceful. Beauty and serenity surround you. You are alone yet you are with God. The Contemplative lives a life that discovers a liberating silence in true prayer that penetrates into an eternity that is always new. Together the Sisters share a community and rejoice in prayer, work and silence. Called to community and solitude to realize the great mystery of God's power in the gift of Himself. This is the goal and ideal of Mt. Thabor. The Sisters invite you to contemplation at Mt. Thabor Monastery. You take the next step. Come climb the mountain.
Want to be a Nun? You may be called! Consecrated life is the work of the Holy Spirit Who instills into the hearts of those He calls this knowledge of Christ that can only come from love. Christ is Risen. Alleluia!

God called and we responded. The initial call to the religious life while very beautiful can also be very strange and confusing. It is through careful discernment and prayer usually with the help of a spiritual director that one is better able to come to know and understand the meaning of this call and how to best respond.

Join us in prayer to Fr. Augustus Tolton The Chicago Archdiocese has begun a cause for Canonization for Fr. Augustus Tolton. Before becoming ordained a Catholic priest in Rome (no American seminaries would accept him) Fr. Tolton was an American slave. After ordination Fr. Tolton returned to Illinois to minister to the people despite an often hostile environment towards people of African decent. We are seeking to propagate devotion to Fr. Tolton and have begun to pray earnestly to him for vocations to our Community. Please join us in prayer to Fr. Tolton. For more information contact the Archdiocese of Chicago. |
