Produktinformationen zu „The Spirit and Origin of Christian Monasticism (ePub)“
The Catholic ideal is the ascetic life. The true monk is the perfect Christian. "This", says Thomas Kempis, "is the highest wisdom, by contempt of the world, to make for the regions of heaven." Possession of property, marriage, and fatherhood blind a man's eyes to life's greatest possibility, the beatific vision of the King in His beauty. The monk's complete renunciation of all, which the world holds to be good, is at once the proof of his devotion and the means by which he is able to arrive most swiftly and certainly in close personal communion with God. In the lawful fulfillment of his body's functions, he comes closest to achieving the purpose of God, who made the body what it is. In making the most that he can, honestly, out of life's opportunities for gain and joy, he best shows his thankfulness to the God who placed him in the world.
