Unique in the Church, the Camaldolese life is ordered to a
three-fold good: solitude, community, and witness. Men and women as
hermits live by a monastic rule, committed to both solitude and
community life. The discipline of solitude combined with the second
good, the rigors of community living are intended to widen the
heart in service of the third good: bearing witness to the
abundance of God's love as the self, others, and every living
creature are brought into fuller communion in the one Love. The
essays in The Privilege of Love convey the richness and the depth
of the Camaldolese Benedictine spirit. Their diversity of
expression is itself a manifestation of the magnitude of God's
bonding Love. This bonding is the Spirit's own gift, weaving
together the many voices found in these pages - voices of women and
men, of monk, hermit, and layperson. The voices speak of historical
roots, of the riches found in solitude and the grit of community
life, of the psychological strength required in any pursuit of God,
of the vulnerability of the human heart which is the home for
wisdom's Word, and of the privilege of being in love with Love
itself. Essays and contributors underPart One: A Vision in Context
