Millennium mottoes

The prayer is the summit of this motto and is also the summit of life. It teaches us to step out of ourselves and transcend toward the God of Jesus Christ, who is the true Beauty, the true Truth, the true Goodness, and the true Love.

These elements that make up the motto of the Montserrat 2025 millennium are the proposal that Benedictine monastic life can make to its contemporaries. They show that life has meaning if lived consistently with certain principles; they show that happiness is possible if we put our abilities at the service of others; they show that God constantly urges us to become better people and to build a better society.

The monastic tradition teaches us that knowing oneself and taking control of one’s own life is the source of true freedom. That freedom allows us to live according to principles and values that give meaning to our existence and, ultimately, makes us understand that true happiness is found in serving others.
