The Lutheran Bishop of Oslo, Kari Keiteberg, and her husband are staying with us these days. Today we had the pleasure of praying together in a Liturgy of the Word that invites us to continue on the path of the Christian Unity.

We have already made the first meeting to make our meditation at the monastery. We share the prayer with which we started it by Raimon Panikar: "The water of the drop".

I am here, Lord, at your service
Which means in the service of mankind
I am here not only to speak and listen
But also to participate in the progress of humanity.
I am here Lord to continue the prelegrinatge.
I am here Lord to see more clearly
In the new passage of my life.
Help me Lord to arrive at this synthesis that I intuit
But which I often fail to realise.
I am here Lord

The community of Saint Benedict of Montserrat is celebrating its anniversary!

The community of Saint Benedict of Montserrat is celebrating its anniversary!

The nuns of the Monastery of Sant Benet de Montserrat are celebrating the 70th anniversary of their foundation this year.

On 13 May 1952, two Benedictine communities merged to form a new community: Sant Benet de Montserrat. On that day, the nuns from the monastery of Sant Anton i Santa Clara, founded in the 13th century in Barcelona, and the nuns from the monastery of Sant Benet de Mataró, which had been temporarily residing there since 1939, and whose origins date back to the 19th century, met at the monastery of Santa Cecília de Montserrat. Both communities had lost their monasteries during the Spanish Civil War and accepted the proposal to join together and settle on the mountain of Montserrat.

To celebrate the birthday, the same date of May 13th, but 70 years later, the community of Sant Benet de Montserrat has gone up again to the monastery of Santa Cecília to celebrate a Eucharist in thanksgiving for the 70 years of history. The celebration was presided over by Father Manel Gasch, abbot of Montserrat, and concelebrated by the abbot of the monastery of Poblet and the prior of the monastery of Solius. The abbesses of the monastery of Sant Pere de les Puel-les in Barcelona and Vallbona de les Monges, as well as the prioress of the monastery of Sant Daniel in Girona also attended. The community was also accompanied by the president and the first councillor of the European Benedictine Congregation of the Resurrection, to which the monastery of Saint Benedict of Montserrat belongs.

After the mass at Santa Cecília, the meeting continued at the monastery of Sant Benet with a paella, where the monks of the monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat also joined in. In all, more than fifty monks and nuns gathered for the feast. After lunch, in a playful and festive atmosphere, they recalled, through a game of questions, some anecdotes and historical events of those beginnings of the communities and that are preserved documented in the monastery's archives. In fact, at present, there are still three nuns who lived in first person the day of the foundation, they are the gna. Assumpta Bardolet, gna. Maria Mercè Coll and gna. Maria Tecla Carricondo. All of them were able to participate in the celebration together with the community.

A 70-year-old story!

The nuns of the Monastery of Sant Benet de Montserrat are celebrating the 70th anniversary of our foundation this year.

On 13 May 1952, two Benedictine communities merged to form a new community: Sant Benet de Montserrat. On that day, the nuns from the Monastery of Sant Anton i Santa Clara, founded in the 13th century in Barcelona, and the nuns from the Monastery of Sant Benet de Mataró, whose origins date back to the 19th century, met at the Monastery of Santa Cecília. Both communities had lost their monasteries during the Spanish Civil War and accepted the proposal to merge and settle on the mountain of Montserrat.

The merger took place on 13 May. The nuns of the two communities met at three o'clock in the afternoon in the entrance hall of the Monastery of Santa Cecília, the monastery where the nuns of Mataró had been provisionally installed for some years. There, many nuns met for the first time and gave each other a first emblematic embrace. An hour later, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Father Gabriel Maria Brasó, Prior of the Monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat, came and read aloud the Decree of Foundation to the whole community. From that moment on, the Benedictine community of Sant Benet de Montserrat was constituted.

To celebrate the event, on the same date of 13 May, but 70 years later, the community will once again go up to the Monastery of Santa Cecília to celebrate a Eucharist in thanksgiving for 70 years of history. The abbots, abbesses, priors and prioresses of the Catalan monasteries have been invited, as well as the president and the first councillor of the European Benedictine Congregation of the Resurrection, to which the monastery of Sant Benet de Montserrat belongs. After mass, there will be a picnic where the brother monks of Santa Maria de Montserrat will also join in.

In the community there are still three nuns who lived that event in first person, they are Gna. Assumpta Bardolet, Gna. Maria Mercè Coll and Gna. Maria Tecla Carricondo. With all of them we shared the joy of the feast, making our way in community. Let us give thanks to God!
