Benedictine Vow of Conversion – Christine Valters Paintner 

“In monastic tradition, one of the traditional vows Benedictine monks take is conversion. This vow is about being committed to a lifetime of inner work and always being surprised by God, to never letting ourselves grow so cynical that we think we know everything already or have seen it all.”
