For then are they truly monastics when they live by the labor of their hands, as did our Fathers and the Apostles. (RB 48,8)

   MONK'S WORK

Idleness is the enemy of the soul. Therefore the brothers should be occupied at certain times in manual labor, and again at fixed hours in sacred reading.(Rb 48, 1)

Establishing a link of solidarity with every man and woman, the work gives the possibility to the monks to make their living, to maintain the monastery and to help other people in their needs.

The daily mutual service apart and the normal daily work inside the community, the monks of Praglia are involved in specific activities: the old book’s restoration shop, the cosmetic industry Apis Eugenea, the herboristery Pratalea, the beekeeping, the monastic and spiritual publishing Scritti Monastici.
