«Just as there is a wicked zeal of bitterness which distances one from God and leads to hell, so there is a good zeal, which distances one from evil and leads to God and eternal life. It’s in this later (therefore in this good zeal) which monks must foster with ardent love: they prevent each other from seeking honor; (supporting)/enduring with great patience one another’s physical or moral weaknesses; lending themselves to competition in mutual obedience(or compete in obeying each other); no one is to pursue what he judges useful for himself(or no one seeks what he considers best for himself/nobody seeks his advantages), but rather what he (considers)/judges (useful/)better for others; one to loves all of his fellow monks as brothers(or loving each other with brotherly/fraternal love free from any/all selfishness); they fear God in their love; they love their abbot, with sincerity and humble charity; they prefer absolutely nothing (to/)but Christ, who brings us all together to everlasting life. »

FOUNDATION IN KENYA
On October 7, 2009 Mother Abbess Ildefonsa Paluzzi together with Sister Maria Lucy, a nun originally from Kenya, left Monte Mario to go to Nairobi for foundation.
The Cardinal John Njue made for them available a small house to start as a religious house until the community was able to have its own monastic house. A new adventure thus began from here and after a month’s stay on the spot, Mother Abbess left Sister Maria Lucy as manager to carry out this project.
