RB 53,1: " All guests who come to the monastery are to be received as Christ, because one day he will say: "I was a guest and you welcomed me ."

Hospitality, one of the values on which Benedictine spirituality is based, is an evangelical welcome of the brothers, who come to the monastery above all for an experience of God, taking advantage of the climate of recollection and prayer that it offers (RB 48,1).

The monk is aware that the monastery is God's house and that the guest is not there for him but for Christ, the only thing anyone needs; from this awareness stems the style of hospitality: sharing the spiritual riches of a life lived in God's constant presence, combined with attentiveness to the guest's needs, the brotherhood expressed in a prepared bed, and an atmosphere of silence and prayer.

In recent years, the community of St. Jerome has been reviving its vocation of dedication to the Word, linked to the Benedictine charism, which is aimed at the constant conversion of life, in attentive and adoring listening to the Lord who makes himself present in the brothers and in the monastery's master, the abbot or abbess. Sharing with the brothers the gifts that God bestows in silence and solitude is a necessity, as well as a duty. Therefore, along with liturgical prayer, the community offers a service of the Word read, meditated upon, prayed, and, by God's grace, contemplated.

This desire for sharing has given rise to several initiatives, such as the lectio divina on the Sunday readings, a series of biblical-spiritual meetings, and personalized spiritual exercises.
