A monk is a person who practices religious asceticism through monastic life

A monk is a person who practices religious asceticism through monastic life, either alone or with other monks. A monk may be a person who decides to dedicate his life to the service of all other lives. Or it could be an ascetic who has voluntarily chosen to leave mainstream society and live in prayer and meditation. This concept is ancient and can be seen in many religions and philosophies. In Greek, the word monk can refer to a woman. But in modern English, it is mainly used to refer to a man. The word “nun” is usually used to refer to female monks. Although the word monachos has Christian origins, in English monk also tends to refer generally to a male or female ascetic from another religious or philosophical background. However, because it is generic, it is not interchangeable with terms for specific types of monks. The tradition of Christian monasticism exists in the major Christian sects. Catholic monk statues are also very popular.

In Catholicism, a monk is a member of a religious community

In Catholicism, a monk is a member of a religious community who lives a communal life in a monastery, convent, or priory according to the rules of monastic life. Saint Benedict of Nursia is considered the founder of western monasticism. He wrote the Rules of St Benedict, which are the basis of the Order of St Benedict and all its reforming groups. He founded the great Benedictine monastery of Monte Cassino in 529. The religious oath taken in the West was first made by St. Benedict. There are three of them: obedience, transformation of life, and stability. Obedience requires the monks to obey Christ and is represented by the superior of the monastery, the abbot, or predecessor. The conversion of life, generally speaking, means that the monks convert to the way of monasticism, that is, to die to oneself, to die to the world, to live to god, and to die to work. A Christian friar is to be an instrument of God’s work. Stability means that the monk dedicates himself to the monastery for the rest of his life and, therefore, upon death, will be buried in his cemetery. The pledge of stability is unique to the Benedictines. You can take a look at our catholic monk statue. We also have many other famous religious sculptures.
