It consists of a wise balance between the solitary (eremitic) life and community (cenobitic) life. The eremitism is manifest in the fact that each monk lives in a cell (little house with small garden) separate from the others; he habitually takes meals alone; he does the "lectio divina" and other personal prayers in cell; he perhaps does manual labor alone; and he spends the time remaining after work and common prayer in cell. Together for Sundays Meals and daily Holy Mass Fr.

The Laura has both male and female hermits. Though I am not sure it is fair to call it a mixed community because of the manner of life. The hermits spend most of their time praying the canonical Divine Office in their own cells or working on a task in solitude. Hermits have the Blessed Sacrament reserved in their own cell and pray before it many times a day.a very rare specific vocation.. They eat, work and perform Lectio Divina "alone with the Great Alone". They meet only for daily Mass that ends with 20 minutes of silence before the closing benediction. No other offices are prayed in common except for Sunday. The hermits admire greatly the Desert Fathers and try to imitate their wisdom in our midst.

Emile James Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) [quote name='brendan1104' post='1155260' date='Jan 3 2007, 12:26 PM'] It's really too bad the Capuchins didn't stay faithful, especially to their very charism- authentic Franciscanism, penance and prayer. Obviously Fr. Cantalamesa isn't faithful, I won't say anymore. [/quote] i am going to assume you didnt mean isn't faithful to the Church, Holy See, but the Capuchin tradition>?? perhaps if one includes the capuchin 'branch tradition being the more contemplative renewal originally, hermits and radically poor , and amazing evangalizers..if thats a word.... Not that i am a big fan of charismatic religious lifestyle,and not agreeing with much of his outlook on Spirituality , and Mystical Theology........yet,"1980 he was appointed by Pope John Paul II Preacher to the Papal Household in which capacity he still serves, preaching a weekly sermon in Advent and Lent in the presence of the Pope, the cardinals, bishops an prelates of the Roman Curia and the general superiors of religious orders" I have met quite a few religious, (while there Communities have lost there charism, and became worldy), they personally, struggling along, remained very faithful... (1743 Pope Benedict XIV, by the Brief Inclytum Fratrum Minorum, reserved the office of Papal Preacher exclusively to the Order of Capuchin Friars Minor.) By His great mercy, E-J.
