修道主議 (Monasticism)
“但當我們在生活和信仰中前進時，我們將懷著廣闊的心和無法言喻的甜蜜愛在天主誡命的道路上奔跑；因此永不偏離他的指導，而是在修道院中堅持他的教導，直到死亡，我們可以藉著忍耐與基督一同受苦，使我們配得與祂的國度有分。”
– 聖本篤會規, 序言
“But as we go forward in our life and in faith, we shall with hearts enlarged and unspeakable sweetness of love run in the way of God’s commandments; so that never departing from His guidance, but persevering in His teaching in the monastery until death, we may by patience share in the sufferings of Christ, that we may deserve to be partakers of His kingdom.”
– Rule of St. Benedict, Prologue
