In the beginning God created] the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters.
And God said, „Let the earth put forth vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, upon the earth.”
And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind.
And God said, „Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.”
Genesis: 1,1-2,2
„ORA ET LABORA – PRAY AND WORK and... that in all things God may be glorified“ is the guiding thought of the Benedictine order. Everyday prayer and work are the basis of the Benedictine order.
Great joy for the Benedictine nuns comes from working on the agricultural farm in Smilčić, where they grow various types of fruit, vegetables, lavender, olives and vines that are used in the production of jams, liqueurs, wine, olive oil and scented souvenirs.
