Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Father Maria Ephraim, (Vincent Joseph Mathiew Ferrer,): Preceded by a Historical Notice of the Strict Observances of the Cistercians, Commonly Called Trappists The monastic life dates from the first days of Christianity, and the divine Legislator, in laying the foundation of his Church, laid at the same time the foundation of monachism. "Vae mundo" was the cry of the Man-God; woe be to the world on account of its perverse maxims, of its death-bringing prejudices, and of its incessant opposition to the purity of His Gospel; and at the same time He proclaims this severe sentence: Whoever wishes to come to me, let him sell his goods, and distribute the price of them to the poor; let him renounce self, take up his cross, and follow me. This appeal was understood, and literally followed by the true friends of the Saviour; we accordingly see them strip themselves of their goods, distribute the price to the poor, or lay it at the feet of the Apostles. We see them living afterwards in retirement, mutually edifying one another in a life of community, and making together but one heart and one soul.
