A Hermit’s Life is Special. It is a hidden life of prayer in the silence of solitude where men and women strive for that purity of heart which most clearly mirrors the heart of Jesus. It is a life of selfless love which for the first time in the history of the Church has been codified in Canon Law. Hermits consecrate themselves to God for the salvation of the world where so many find themselves isolated from each other and from God through sin. Although hermits live in solitude they are not isolated from the common concerns of a suffering humanity. On the contrary, as this Rule reveals, they find themselves very much in the midst of the troubled world giving witness by their lives of solitude and prayer to the absolute primacy of God who alone can satisfy our human longing for truth and love. This book will inspire many to a closer walk with the Lord in a spirit of unceasing prayer and love.
