What they do
for THE MONK THE FIRST WORK is THAT of PRAYER to PRAY THE SACRED LITURGY AS FULLY and AS EFFICACIOUSLY AS HE is ABLE, DAY IN DAY OUT, for THE SALVATION of HIS OWN SOUL and for THE GOOD of THE CHURCH and THE WORLD, FROM EARLY MORNING UNTIL NIGHT. THAT MAY SOUND DAUNTING, BUT IN FACT IT is THE MOST NATURAL and LIFE-GIVING THING IN THE WORLD for ONE WITH A MONASTIC VOCATION. RISING AT AN EARLY HOUR to WORSHIP GOD is NATURAL for A MONK. WE ENGAGE IN LECTIO DIVINA THAT DIVINE READING IN WHICH WE LISTEN TO, DIGEST and CONTEMPLATE THE VOICE of GOD IN THE WORDS of HIS INSPIRED and PRIVILEGED FRIENDS SUSTAINS US. and IN THIS SPACE and SILENCE AS THE NIGHT ENDS and THE DAWN BREAKS, AS THE WORLD BUSIES ITSELF for ANOTHER DAY, WE ARE ABLE to PRAY for ALL THOSE WHO SEEK OUR PRAYERS, WHOSE VOCATIONS ARE ELSEWHERE, WHO NEED OUR INTERCESSION to SUSTAIN THEIR GOOD and RIGHTFUL ACTIVITIES IN THE WORLD. THIS is A MOST BEAUTIFUL ELEMENT and APOSTOLATE of MONASTIC LIFE. THE BRETHREN WORK AT THEIR STUDIES A

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
Money in and money out
