The Benedictine Sisters of the Reparation of the Holy Face is a Catholic religious order consisting of female members who have taken vows to devote their lives to God and live according to the Rule of Saint Benedict. This particular order is designated by the name "Reparation of the Holy Face," indicating their special focus on repairing or making amends for offenses committed against the holy countenance of Jesus Christ.
The Benedictine Sisters of the Reparation of the Holy Face follow a contemplative and monastic lifestyle, characterized by prayer, solitude, and communal living. Their primary mission centers on seeking to repair the damages caused by sin and offering reparation for the offenses committed against the sacred image of Jesus Christ, particularly through acts of devotion and prayer.
Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus is an important aspect of their religious life. They believe that by contemplating and honoring the sufferings endured by Christ, especially during his Passion, they can help heal the wounds inflicted by human sinfulness and contribute to the redemption of mankind.
Within their monastic community, the Benedictine Sisters live according to a set of principles and guidelines established by Saint Benedict, which include obedience, stability, prayer, and the pursuit of holiness. They participate in both communal and personal prayer, engage in manual labor, and strive for spiritual growth through self-discipline and detachment from worldly distractions. Their ultimate goal is to draw closer to God through a life of prayer, community, and sacrifice, and to embody the virtues exemplified by Jesus Christ.
