From the earliest times Christian monks have always had a special relationship to their Monastic Home. One of the ancient monastic vows we still take today is the vow of "Stability." This vow binds monks to a particular place and a particular Community. In 1098, the first Cistercian Fathers, like the desert monks before them, searched for a place far from the haunts of men. They described themselves as "lovers of the place and of the brothers."
