No monastery is really "captured"
monasteries are never alone or isolated, even if the Cistercians themselves have attempted much the solitude and tranquility. Religious life is understood to always pan-religious, as a key element for the mission of the Church in the heart and center, and the monastic solitude is to be understood always relative. In this context, the joyful union said the papal letter
Vita consecrata why the sight of monks, some Christians with joy, Because the religious life is an essential part of the life of the church, a valuable impulse to an ever greater fidelity to the Gospel. Monasteries are never so isolated because they are closely Gebetsverbüderung with other monasteries. Pictured (above left) is a fraternity charter from the year 1317, between the Cisterce Raitenhaslach and the Abbey of St. Peter (Salzburg). Who has not recognized immediately, is the word in the fourth line, a closer look (right), there is
Raitenhaslach. Even today, monks and nuns pray every day for the dead from their own and fraternizing with them worldwide.
