Catholic monks: The main work of Catholic monks is to pray. The monks gather in the monastery chapel at set times throughout the day for Mass and for prayer services. They retire to bed at 10:00 PM or so, then get up again at 1:00 AM, gather in the chapel, and have another prayer service. After the middle-of-the-night prayer service is finished, the monks retire to their rooms for a few more hours sleep, before arising again to pray at 5:00 or 5:30 AM. You can see a Carthusian Catholic monk talking about his life in the monastery in a clip from the documentary film Into Great Silence.
