    Catholic Monastic Life

    • 899 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Anonymous 3rd hour 7 March 2013 Catholic Monastic Life Monasticism is the act of dwelling alone. Catholic Encyclopedia states, “The basic idea of monasticism in all its varieties is a seclusion or withdrawal from the world or seclusion or withdrawal from the world or society.” Monasteries were created out of the hermit movement in early Christianity. These monasteries served as a purpose to let Catholics spend their lives with God in their focus. Monasteries had a massive role in society in the Middle Ages. During the Middle Ages, the monastery would often own much land and property; therefore they were landlords to anyone with a small farm or business in that area. Monasteries were also the only educational facilities basically at the time. In Europe, the Middle Ages had a decrease of Greek and Latin literacy. There were some learning going on in the homes, but the Monasteries served as a purpose to educate those who were not as fortunate to have home teaching. Medieval universities were also established. Why do monks and nuns give up a “normal” everyday life in exchange for a life dedicating yourself to only God and the Church? We have heard many times people say, “It is because that is what God has called me to do.” What are the other reasons? Why do some people become teachers? Why do some people become doctors? Because they chose to be. They wanted to serve their community. They had a passion…

    The Wyoming Carmelite monastery was founded by Father Daniel Mary who lived as a Carmelite hermit in Minnesota before moving to Clark, Wyoming, to establish the new monastery. Soon after arriving in Wyoming, Father Daniel Mary had formed the vision of acquiring a new piece of land where he will be building a new monastery with accommodations for 30 monks. This new monastery that Father Daniel Mary has in vision will also be a retreat center for lay visitors, a Gothic Church, a convent for Carmelite nuns, and a hermitage. There were 13 monks dedicated to a life of prayer and worship in the Wyoming Carmelite monastery. Brother Elias, better known as Brother Java, was Mystic Monk Coffee’s master roaster; and ironically is not a coffee drinker. Mystic Monk Coffee had its own website that was responsible for the majority of their sales. Mystic Monk Coffee was also marketed on websites through the ShareASale participation program. A new larger roaster was quoted at $35,000. Father Daniel Mary had a set plan to maximize the potential of monastic opportunities, and realize his vision of buying the Irma Lake Ranch for $8.9 million dollars, and will be the location of the new monastery.…

    Hello my name is Joseph and I am a monk. In a monastery, we help the poor, shelter travellers, look after the sick and teach reading and writing. There are many orders of monks. There is the Benedictines, the Cistercians and the Augustinians. Most of us follow the Rule of St. Benedict. The Rule of Benedict provides a guide to prayer, work and study. When us monks first came to Ireland we founded many monasteries in many different places. Examples of such monasteries are Mellifont Abbey, Co. Louth and Jerpoint Abbey, Co. Kilkenny. The layout, or plan of our monasteries are different from the early Christian monasteries. But our monasteries are similar to those of monasteries in France and other countries in Europe. The main buildings is the church, which faces east-west and is for mass and ceremonies, the almonry, where food is given to the poor, the cloisters, a covered walkway around a garden where we pray, the refectory, or dining-room, the infirmary, where the sick are treated, the dormitory, where we sleep and finally the scriptorium where manuscripts are copied and illustrated. To become a monk I had to join an order as a novice. I learned the Rule of St. Benedict and helped with work in the monastery. When the abbot (head of the monastery) was satisfied with my work, I became a monk. When I turned from a novice to monk, I took three vows. These vows were: Poverty - that I would give up all my possessions, Chastity - that I would not marry and have children and Obedience - that I would obey the orders of my abbot. As part of the ceremony on becoming a monk, I had part of my head shaved in a tonsure. The principal monks in the monastery are: the abbot, who is head of the monastery, the infirmarian, who take care of the sick, the sacristan, who is in charge of the church, the almoner, who gives food to the poor and the hospitaller who look after guests, rich and poor alike. Monasteries also give sanctuary, or protection to people who are treated with arrest or…
