		It consisted of a cenobium where the cenobitic life was practised by novices and others less proficient.
		Palestine, at the end of the fourth century, began to supersede Egypt as the centre of monasticism, and in Palestine the laura and the cenobium were in perfect harmony.
		That of St. Gerasimus, with its cenobium already referred to, may be taken as a typical example.

	Monastery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are higher levels to ascetic practice but the monks who practice these do not live in monasteries, but alone.
		When monks live together, work together, and pray together, following the directions of the abbot and the elder monks, this is called a cenobium.
		The idea behind this is when you put many men together, like rocks with sharp edges, their “sharpness” becomes worn away and they become smooth and polished.

	"Teachings on Renunciation" -- St. John Cassian
		For it is of a kind that we do not recall anyone who has joined our monasteries to have maintained even for a full year.
		Then, when we have seen the initial stages of their renunciation, we shall understand how, as a consequence, the foundations of these beginnings rose to such lofty heights of perfection.
		-- So, then, whoever seeks to be received into the discipline of the cenobium is never admitted until, by lying outside for ten days or more, he has given an indication of his perseverance and desire, as well as of his humility and patience.

		Therefore, recognizing the divine Fathers as heralds of the Faith after the divine Apostles, the Church of Christ has appointed this present Sunday for their annual commemoration, in thanksgiving and unto the glory of God, unto their praise and honour, and unto the strengthening of the true Faith.
		Saint Onuphrius flourished in the fourth century, first in the cenobium near Hermopolis of Thebes in Egypt, and later as a solitary in the desert, where he was discovered by Saint Paphnutius.
		When Paphnutius first encountered him deep in the desert, he was affrighted at the Saint's appearance, seeing him covered with hair like a wild beast and naked except for a garment sewn of leaves covering his loins.

		Magni nominis magnaeque religionis tunc erat cenobium nostrum; quia in toto archiepiscopatu Remensi eo tempore nonnisi tres inveniebantur ecclesie que consuetudines Cluniacenses servarerlt, Aquicinensis scilicet, Haffligeniensis et nostra.
		Cluniacense siquidem cenobium** tunc in toto regno Francorum erat excellentissime religionis, quoniam nondum germinaverat rigor Cisterciensis nec de domno Norberto adhuc aliqua mentio erat.
		Sed cum, ut predictum est, inter vicinas ecclesias magna fama prosperitate cenobium nostrum floreret, ecce subito cecidit corona capitis nostri, et defecit gaudium cordis nostri.

	St. Laurence Church, Bradford-on-Avon: Discussion
		In 1001 Aethelred II granted the cenobium of Bradford-on-Avon, with land in the vicinity to Shaftesbury Abbey.
		The property was meant to give the nuns and their relics a place of refuge in case of Viking attacks.
		It is possible that the building was built after the grant of cenobium in 1001 but due to a variety of reasons ranging from funding to political or military unrest the decoration was delayed.

		And he lived among his animals a half kilometer up the rutted road from the cenobium at the base of the hermit's escarpment in what the brothers called a kathismata, or seat, encompassing the livestock pens, the cemetery and the monastery burial chapel and bone crypt.
		You must not revert to the mothering bosom of the cenobium because you fear the third temptation.
		Your request to re-enter the cenobium is premature.

		The letters italicized above were by the second hand, while the initial letter C of the first line and the E in the fifth were original.
		Bandini noticed, also, that cenobium replaced a shorter word and that the last five letters of salvatoris were written on parchment that had not been erased, and so that the ten letters of this word replaced five of the original word.
		The clue for reconstructing the original lines he found in the expression caput ecclesiæ, which he judged referred to St. Peter.

		He also considers the community as a corporate entity whose form, suggested by the Latin morphology of words designating community (congregatio, schola, institutio, and acies), is inherently feminine.
		It is this good enough maternal holding aspect of both Abbot and community that allows each monk--even those of the cenobium, as Merton (1973) points out--to seek the solitude of the desert as the medium through which develops an authentic openness and purity of heart.
		These "communities" function as a holding environment for an emergent new monk--one who is not called to the traditional cenobium but to prophetic witness in the liminality of a new form of desert, a postmodern one.

		Many more disciples came and in a short period of time the community numbered over one hundred.
		Thus was born the first cenobium or monastery which lived the communal life.
		The cenobium was seen as an answer to the many dangers both physically and spiritually which plagued the desert solitary.

		The best way to consider them is as small monastic houses whose character developes according to local need and may remain tiny or become big colonies.
		Sketes have an unbroken tradition in the eastern rite churches, but were naerly entirely lost in the west, where the cenobium became the standard monastery.
		However the skete tradition is being renewed in response to a deeper interest in the solitary life, combined with a keen sense that solitude must not be just a selfish escape, but a deeper way of loving others through the life of prayer.

	Elder Paisios
		That same year he moved to the Monastery of Philotheou, which at that time was still idiorhythmic.
		The elder observed in later years that one could even live a more ordered and stricter ascetic life in an idiorhythmic monastery than in a cenobium if one was under close supervision of a good spiritual father.
		After two years he was tonsured to the small schema in Philotheou and given the name Paisios.

		Following this period of some twenty years he returned to the cenobium to finish his days.
		It was the prospect of a conversation with this holy and humble monk who had acquired a reputation for sanctity that drew Cassian and Germanus, his faithful companion, to this large cenobium in the first place.
		But having tasted the purity of that life I was defiled at times by solicitude for carnal things and so it struck me as good to return to the cenobium.

	Role of the Abba (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Pachomius' own formation as an anchorite under Palamon led him not to become a desert abba, but the founder of a koinonia, a cenobium.
		A high degree of communal organization, with a full array of secondary officials, sets this monasticism apart from that of the desert, where the only "structure" was that provided by the constitutive elder/ disciple relationship.
		When Vogüé writes, "Pachomius is none other than one of these eremitical spiritual fathers, and his cenobium is none other than the development of the embryonic communities which were forming around the first abbas" (LCA, 135) he is only partly correct.

		obedience demanded for objective reasons of divinely-inspired authority in the cenobium: obedience to the Abbot who is Christ;
		The echo in RB 71:2 of Mt 7:13-14 on the two ways recalls RB 5:11b's quotation of the same passage, but here not restricted to obedience to the abbot in the cenobium.
		Here most clearly we see the relationship between our two aspects of obedience-- ultimately it is the conformity to the example of Christ, who patiently endured suffering and through it came to fullness of life and love: it is Christ who is the heart of monastic obedience.

	From the Anchor Hold
		In the same neighborhood was an anchorite who had not been out in a long time.
		The abba of the cenobium went to consult with the anchorite about the brother who had sinned.
		The anchorite said, "Drive him away!" So the brother left the cenobium, and he went into a cave and wept there.

		He came out and asked him: "What do you want?" He said to him: "I want to become a monk." Antony answered and said to him: "You are an old man, sixty years old; you cannot become a monk here.
		If you really want to become a monk, go to a cenobium with a number of brethren, who can support your weakness.
		For I live here alone, eating after a five days' fast, and that without satisfying my hunger." With these and such-like words he tried to frighten Paul away and, since he could not endure him, Antony shut the door and did not go out for three days because of him, not even for necessary purposes.

	Sancti Angeli: Skete way of life. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The name skete comes from the Greek word for ascesis, and really means a place where ascetics live.
		In the early tradition of the church the skete is one form of monastic life and forms a bridge between the cenobium (community of monks or nuns living together) and the isolated hermitage (solo monks and nuns).
		In the early church men and women aspiring to be hermits or anchorites, would be sent to the Skete for monastic formation.

	Regular Observance: Reflections of a Dominican Yogi
		Almost all spiritual wisdom, East or West, recognizes this necessary preparation for divine union, this conscious and concentrated receptivity to divine grace, this co-creation of ourselves as a receptacle for divine ecstasy and self-emptying.
		And the major spiritual traditions value the role of the ashram, or sangha, or community, or cenobium, or monastery in this self-annihilating, self-actualising, lonely but corporate journey, during which we are restless until we are granted the true rest which we seek.
		We are now better prepared for the topic of this paper: what does the common life have to do with this contemplative pilgrimage of the soul?
