Ribnica Monastery
The dormitory of the monastery in Ribnica
In the same way, we invite all those God-longing souls who are interested in the monastic life to join us, to work together, in love and harmony, on the plan of salvation, both personal and of our sinful and suffering Serbian race.
Every nation needs a strong and healthy monasticism, in order for that nation to prosper with God's grace and to have someone to pray for it.
We are here to help our people in this way, and we wish and pray that all peoples in this world know the values and beauty of the original Christian monastic life.
