EMMAUS
HERMITAGE
IN THE GREAT TRADITION
"Tradition is the living faith of the dead, and traditionalism is the dead faith of the living."
Jaroslav Pelikan
"In a higher world it is otherwise, but here below to live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often."
Saint John Henry Newman
The Emmaus Hermitage is affiliated to the ecumenical monastery of Bose, Italy.
We are in the tradition of ecumenical monastic communities like Taizé and Grandchamp.
"Brother, sister, you have been called to follow Christ in community life and in celibacy. In answering this call, you are not undertaking a new way of living the Gospel. You should be aware of this and know that you are not alone on this road traveled by many Christians over the centuries. Before you, others with the same vocation, expressed in different ways according to the times and places in which they lived, have made this journey: Elijah and John the Baptist, Pachomius and Mary, Basil and Macrina, Benedict and Scholastica, Francis and Clare, and many others. As you can see, you are not alone, but surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses." (Rule of Bose 7-8)
