Hear - the Rule of Benedict as a Path of Inner Attention

In a quiet, mindful atmosphere, Father Anselm Grün invites you to a faith experience: listening with the heart. The well-known Benedictine from the Abbey of Münsterschwarzach interprets the beginning of the Rule of Benedict as an invitation to spiritual community, reflection, and renewed relationship with God.

Spiritual Introduction: The Listening That Transforms

From the Benedictine tradition springs a deep understanding of prayer, obedience, and the art of living. The word 'Hear' opens the space for religious experience: inner calm, clear thoughts, and supported silence. Those who listen allow God's word to take effect and discover a life order that connects freedom, responsibility, and love for one’s neighbor.

Experiences from Monastery and Pastoral Care

Father Anselm Grün, monk and spiritual companion, connects theology with down-to-earth spirituality. His impulses draw from decades of pastoral care, Benedictine practice, and the wisdom of the Fathers. This makes central concepts of spirituality concrete: liturgy, prayer, discernment of spirits, measure, and balance in everyday life.

Experience Community: Church as a Space for Listening

In the filial church of St. Benedict, a resonance space for faith and dialogue emerges. Visitors experience a sense of community, mindfulness, and orientation. The Rule of Benedict leads to a lifestyle that brings work, rest periods, and prayer into a healing balance.

The lecture is aimed at all interested parties. Seating, barrier-free access, and parking facilities are available at the community center. Reduced tickets promote attendance by young people and students; pre-registration secures a spot.
