Cistercian Charism

Is a tsunami of Love. Since 1098 men and women

Have been swept away from their rational human moorings

By an encounter face to face with Love Himself.

“Come Follow Me.”

All is suddenly changed.

“Solo Dios basta

Said Fra Rafael Arnaiz Baron in twentieth century Spain.

“Yes, Lord.”

“As You know and as You will, have mercy.”

Into your hands I commend my whole self.

One thing is necessary.

“Mary has chosen the better part

And it shall not be taken from her.”

All is grace, gift.

But the greatest gift is Love.

“I am the Way, the Truth, the Life.”

“I am Love Incarnate.”

“Come follow Me.”

 

 

Faith

Enter into the secure depths of faith.

Gilbert of Hoyland, 12th. Century Cistercian
