There are old orders of nuns, brothers,monks and priests who follow a rule of strict silence, chastity,poverty and silence. Their core life commitment, to pray for all of us.
Monastery Cemetery
It is quiet here
Among the stones
Where they sleep
Those that atone
For sins of others
They have chosen
Prayer as a calling
Night and day
In seclusion’s arms
They spend their
Lives in strict regard
Their oaths of silence
Cloak them gently
Through the hours
Till death gracefully
Leads them here
To eternal reward
