The habit of the Angels

Fra' Francesco | Posted on 20219October |

“The Benedictine monks especially contributed to spreading devotion to the holy angels – they who, by virtue of their magnificent liturgical chants, are on earth imitators of the Angels of heaven, so much so that in the East the monastic state and habit are commonly honored with the title of angelic! “ Cardinal Schuster, o.s.b., Liber sacramentorum, volume VIII, p.314
Our brother Giuliano put on the habit of the Angels, on the eve of the feast of the Nativity of the Most Holy Virgin Mary, September 8, 2021, he was given to bear the august name of the Archangel Raphael (which means : God heals). May the Archangels and all the Angels accompany him throughout his life!

Our Benedictine community of strict observance, founded by two monks originally from Le Barroux Abbey (France) was born on July 2nd 2008 at Villatalla in Liguria, in the diocese of Mgr Oliveri, bishop of Alberga-Imperia. It was transferred to the former convent of the Capuchins of Taggia, even closer to the French border, where it was officially welcomed by Mgr Antonio Suetta, bishop of Ventimiglia-San Remo, on 24th August 2019.
It uses the traditional liturgy both inside and outside of the monastery.
