Catholics throughout the world are encouraged to support the cloistered and monastic life on World Day of Cloistered Life, Monday, Nov. 21.
The primary purpose of this day, traditionally known as “Pro Orantibus Day” (“For Those Who Pray”), is to support — both spiritually and materially — the gift of the cloistered contemplative life. A free packet of resources is available online, including a meditation for this occasion, at www.cloisteredlife.com.
