to Monod - reflect above all the spirit of the Beatitudes pronounced by Jesus: "Joy, simplicity, mercy". By cultivating inner silence, by uniting prayer and action, by being "in solidarity with the whole Church and the world itself", it is a matter of "living an ordinary life in an extraordinary way". Development Wilfred Monod remained in charge of the Watchers ("prior") until 1942, shortly before his death. He was succeeded by Pastor Georges-François Grosjean, and in 1974 by Pastor Roger Belmont. In 1991, Daniel Bourguet took over this responsibility. A theologian and pastor, he wrote numerous works marked by meditation on the Bible and the spirituality of the Church Fathers. In particular, he developed the notion of "interiorised monasticism", borrowed from the Russian thinker Paul Evdokimov. Driven by a monastic vocation, he has lived since 2002 as a hermit in the Cévennes. After a long decline, the Fraternity experienced new growth: 200 members in 2005, 300 in 2007, and more than 400 in 2018. Since 2012, Claude Caux-Berthoud, a pastor of the United Protestant Church of France, is the sixth prior of the community. Commitments of the Watchers Daily prayer The Watchers do not propose a community life, but a communion of prayer. The Watchers' Rule commits them to live "three moments for the essential".

Each Watcher is free to use the manuals, publications or daily reading lists in use in his or her church, and to organise this time according to what suits him or her and what is possible. This rhythm of three daily prayer times is not new. Traces of it can be found in Jewish prayer as attested by the writings of the Old Testament (Daniel 6:11, and perhaps Psalm 55:18). The Christian tradition has taken it up, and among the Reformers John Calvin recommends it. For his part, Wilfred Monod refers it to the Angelus, whose ringing of bells heard one evening in 1922 upset him: "what an unspeakable power of poetry and solidarity in such an oration, binding together unknown personalities, unknown to each other". The Rule specifies the nature of these three times of prayer: In the morning: meditative reading of the Bible, praise and prayer. In the middle of the day: elevation, in communion with the Watchers and members of other
