RESGATE DA VIDA MONÁSTICA: DA EXEMPLARIDADE À REGRA

Abstract

The discussion here proposed intends to bring up the examplarity of saints lives, highlighting their life references, motivated by living it all behind in order to dedicate themselves to God, contributing to monastic life formation back in both East and medieval West, in a context of extreme desolation caused by the major crisis in the Roman Empire. And yet, it will present christianity’s expansion and pagan people evangelization as a strengthening measure from the Church.
