Re: Quiz - 12 May 2010


"Strict Observance" refers to the Trappists' aim at following closely St. Benedict's Rule, and take the three vows described in his Rule stability, fidelity to monastic life, and obedience. As Benedict also insisted on silence, it has some importance in their way of life. However, contrary to popular belief,they do not take a vow of silence. Trappist monks will generally only speak when necessary, and idle talk is strongly discouraged. In years past, a Trappist Sign Language, distinct from other forms of monastic sign language, was developed to dissuade speaking. Meals are usually taken in contemplative silence, as members of the order are supposed to listen to a reading .Trappists' silence should be understood as the wish to give space to what matters: gaining a deeper love and understanding of God.

The Trappists are a branch of the Cistercians, and like the other Cistercian orders they also have a women's branch commonly referred to as the Trappistines.
