‘When guests arrive, they should all be received as Christ, because he himself will say: I was a stranger and you welcomed me’ (Rule of Saint Benedict, Chapter 53,1).
Hospitality has always been important to the Benedictines. The Mariastein Monastery offers people seeking God the opportunity to participate in the monastic life of the monks.

In addition to being invited to the table (groups in the guest refectory, male individual guests also with the monks on request) and to dialog, guests are invited to pray together with the monks.
