We pray for all those who have asked the Bethlehem Abbey Cistercian Family to support and hold them in prayer in each of their individual needs and circumstances, either in person or through our online media channels.

For the Pope’s monthly prayer intentions for this month (October) – For the Synod: We pray for the Church, that she may adopt listening and dialogue as a lifestyle at every level, and allow herself to be guided by the Holy Spirit towards the peripheries of the world.


Our Lady, Queen of Cîteaux, pray for us!
