Around twenty Benedictines live, pray, sing and cultivate the Martinian heritage and monastic wisdom in Ligugé. Every morning, the monk, after singing the praises of a new day, meditates on the texts during a time of contemplative reading, lectio divina.

He rereads Irenaeus of Lyon, Augustine, Saint Bernard, Saint Thomas, often before the 12th century... he goes back through the ages, he looks far away. What does he see?
