  + worldly clamor lures with shiny, noisy attractions and though many are called, they can't hear and wander away from His whisper:  a few are chosen, but many barter for prestige and position:

Notre vie monastique est une vie de priere, d'humilite,                         de solitude, de silence et de dilection fraternelle,
                       une vie entierement tournee vers Notre-Seigneur.

 Stella Maris Abbey Hermitage  is a
​Sui Juris Roman Catholic monastery faithful to Church teachings and Latin-Rite Monasticism

Please remember our dear nuns of Madrid, Spain who have died ​and our  deceased benefactors from Spain, France, Italy, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany and Latvia whose support enabled the 1991 establishment of our Order in Europe amid the chaotic aftermath of the fall of communism and the re-emergence of the roman Catholic church in the former Eastern Bloc nations.

​+Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Requiescant in pace.
