“I give you a new commandment: love one another.
As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.”

(John 13:34, NAB)

Three-fold love is the way of our life as Cistercian sisters. It is a gift, because the Holy Spirit, the Giving of the divine gifts, brought us together to come to the Father by following Christ:

• to learn to accept ourselves as gifts,

• to dare to accept our brothers
  and sisters as gifts,

•  and to have the courage to give ourselves to the loving God, who has already given Himself for and to us.

“This is how all will know
that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.”
(John 13:35, NAB)
