The Roman Catholic Monastery of the Holy Cross was founded in 1989 and became a Benedictine house of the Subiaco Congregation in 2000. We follow a traditional contemplative life, chanting Psalms seven times a day and singing Gregorian chant at the Eucharist. We do this in a distinctive way by living our monastic life on the South Side of Chicago. Prior Peter, the author of this blog, was appointed Prior in August of 2004.

Making Room

Although hospitality was counted among the highest expressions of faith in both the Old and the New Testaments, most Christians now seem to have little awareness of the tradition. Christine Pohl in Making Room: Recovering Hospitality as a Christian Tradition has set herself to the task of recentralizing hospitality to strangers as a basic component of the Christian life. Her impressively ecumenical breadth makes her work not only fascinating to read, but also greatly motivating.
