Vultus Christi (The Face of Christ) is the spiritual blog of the Benedictine Monks of Perpetual Adoration at Our Lady of the Cenacle Monastery (Silverstream Priory) in Ireland. Through this apostolate, the monks of Silverstream Priory share the fruits of their contemplation of the Face of Christ for the edification of the faithful, with a particular emphasis on the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, the Church's Liturgy, and the Blessed Virgin Mary, as well as on monasticism and the spiritual legacy of Mother Mectilde de Bar (1614-1698), foundress of the Benedictines of Perpetual Adoration.
