Order of the Common Life
The Order of the Common Life is a global ecumenical religious order inviting followers of Jesus to reimagine monastic formation within ordinary life. The Order equips individuals to cultivate rhythms of prayer, presence, and service while remaining deeply rooted in their local contexts.
Through its training in spiritual direction and its partnership with local churches, the Order helps congregations become formational communities centered on the love of God. Members and partners alike share a common commitment to spiritual depth, communal life, and the renewal of the Church through practices that sustain love, holiness, and mission in the everyday.
