Monastic Reference Point for the Baptized

Monastics strive to be a reference point for all the baptized by focusing on being in the presence of God throughout the day. They engage in liturgical prayers at specific times like morning and evening prayer, supplementing these with short prayers or moments of prayer during daily tasks to maintain a connection with God, in adherence to St. Paul's directive to pray without ceasing. Monastics use brief, frequent prayers to combat forgetfulness and emphasize the importance of consistent connection with the divine.
