Download or read book Back to Asceticism II The Trappist Option A Translation with Introduction and Notes of DE LA SAINTET ET DES DEVOIRS DE LA VIE MONASTIQUE written by Armand-Jean de Rance and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-07 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De la sainteté et des devoirs de la vie monastiqueby the Abbé Armand-Jean de Rancé was originally published in Paris by Francois Muguet in 1683. In 1830 it was translated and titled On the Sanctity and the Duties of the Monastic State by Abbot Vincent Ryan, founding abbot of Mount Melleray in Capoquinn, Ireland and published in Dublin by Richard Grace. This derivative edition has been re-typeset, re-titled, edited, updated, heavily annotated, and its many citations both substantially corrected and expanded. Moreover, it has been supplied with a contemporary introduction, with 44 illustrations as well as an Image Index and an Index of Scriptural Citations. Although Abbé de Rancé, the founder of the Trappists, originally wrote for his monks, many laity of 17th c. France gladly embraced much of his spirituality, and to wonderful effect. With asceticism re-appearing now as a corrective to our self-indulgence and softness, his wonderful book is a badly needed, albeit bracing corrective for the Christians of our time. If appropriated in our day, Back to Asceticism: The Trappist Option will likely accomplish spontaneously all that The Benedict Option by Rod Dreher envisioned, and far more. On the Sanctity and Duties of the Monastic State was the soul of Trappist spirituality until very recently, and the very implosion of the Trappists suggests that survival of the order depends on an about-face, a return to the wisdom of its founder. In fact, the same may be said mutatis mutandi of the entire Church, which is badly in need of this ascetic wisdom which de Rancé has distilled from Saint Benedict, Saint Bernard and the Desert Fathers, from Saint Basil, Saint John Climachus, and others. Volume I contains the following fifteen chapters: 1 - The Obligations of Religious Life in General 2 - The Institution of the Monastic State 3 - Of the Origin of the Solitary Life 4 - Of the Different Forms of Life Which Were Established among the Ancient Solitaries 5 - Of the Essence and Perfection of the Cenobitical State 6 - Of the Principal Means by Which Religious Persons May Attain to the Perfection of Their State 7 - On the Love of God 8 - Of Loving the Superiors and Having Confidence in Them 9 - Of the Charity and Duty of Superiors 10 - Of the Charity that the Brethren Should Have for One Another11 - On Prayer 12 - On Penance, On Humiliations 13 - On the Meditation of Death 14 - On the Judgments of God 15 - On Compunction Volume II contains the additional eight chapters: 16 - On Retirement 17 - On Silence 18 - On Abstinence and Austere Food 19 - On Manual Labor 20 - On Night Watchings 21 - On Poverty 22 - On Patience under Sickness and Infirmities 23 - On Mitigations In all, the two volumes comprise 700 pages of monastic wisdom compiled and commented on by the immensely learned Abbé de Rancé in light of his own decades long experience as the re-founder, the very successful re-founder, of Our Lady of la Trappe monastery in France. That monastery under his rule was by all accounts a kind of Heaven on earth. If "By their fruits you will know them" is taken as our principle of discernment, the fact that his monastery is the mother of every Cistercian monastery of the Strict Observance in the world today, and that the order thrived under the influence of his spirituality, then the true worth of De la sainteté et des devoirs de la vie monastique and its present day iteration, "Back to Asceticism: The Trappist Option is clearly seen. With this work Abbé Armand-Jean de Rancé is striding into the moribund world of contemporary Catholicism and speaking once again with words of fire.

Book excerpt: Both during his lifetime and afterwards Armand Jean le Bouthiellier, the abbe de Rance, was a controversial figure. Alive, he was extravagantly admired by many, yet had, as one recent biographer observed, 'an unhappy genius for incurring hostility unnecessarily'. Dead, he continued to evoke extreme reactions-he was either loved or loathed. One biographer nicknamed him 'the thundering abbot'; others depicted him in hagiographical panegyrics. The present volume sets Rance against the colorful and extravagant world of seventeenth-century France and corrects both masterly and entertaining caricatures by exploring the world which surrounded and formed this ever fascinating monk: the privileged circles of the ancient regime in which Rance moved from his birth in 1626; and the austere monastic environment he created at la Trappe. 'This is not so much a book about Rance as around Rance, Dr Bell writes. 'I do not expect that it will persuade people who do not like Rance to like him; it may, however, serve to explain why he said and did what he said and did in the way that he said and did.'
