description Incarnation Monastery in Berkeley and New Camaldoli in Big Sur, California I. VIGILS The genius of the monastic life is its balance. Like the Catholic Church itself, a monastery's foundation is the life of Christ, which balanced the growth of the Christian community and its notion of agape with Jesus' own frequent calls to solitary prayer and retreat.Today, when the U.S. Church in particular can feel anything but stable or steadying, it makes sense that people would seek out places of spiritual refuge. Secular oblates are vowed to a specific monastery and promise to follow that order's rule and keep the hours, but they are not required to live in the monastic community. The Episcopalian writer Kathleen Norris is an oblate of the Benedictine community in Collegeville, Minnesota, and brought monastic life to a wider audience in her book The Cloister Walk.
