Be driven to prayer
In his Rule for Monks, St. Benedict attaches great importance to our guests receive: Prayer for him, the main entrance of the monastery and he even added this recommendation: "Once received, the hosts will be driven to prayer . This procedure may seem surprising today, but it does not regenerate. The oratory is the privileged place of communal prayer, the encounter with God. You enter through the front door, but it involves not only lead to "prayer" in the holy place, but also facilitate access to liturgical prayer. There are more than just moving locally, because it is important to make the host capable of taking an active part in the liturgy, putting it in position to follow his heart to the divine words he will hear and decide. The Liturgy of the Hours is not the custom for all visitors to monasteries or homes, even for those who have a regular religious practice. The "lead to prayer" thus requires an initiation that would help this little guide.
