The 72-strong Cistercian Monks Of Stift Heiligenkreuz – who recently scored a number one album of Gregorian chants in their native Austria and have made the top 10 in the UK album charts – believe they could help the "Back To Black" singer overcome her troubles.
The monks are signed to the same record label as Amy, 24, and were given a copy of her "Back To Black" album by a label worker.
Brother Johannes Paul Chavanne, 25, told Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper: "For 10 minutes I liked it. But when I read the lyrics I thought it was sad."
"I would like to invite her here - I feel sympathetic to people like her. She could stay a week or two and discuss the big questions of life - faith might be an answer for her."
Despite singing songs from the 1800s, the monks were keen to dismiss claims they don't keep up with modern living.
They said: "Johannes is a thoroughly modern monk, and has a computer and internet in his cell."
"We are in a tradition that goes back centuries, but we are also of the third millennium, and use the medium of our time."
