Erotic feelings of a Benedictine monk
« on: December 24, 2009, 07:12:16 PM »

The Benedectine monk Anselm Gruen relates to an interview how he copes with his erotic feelings as a religious person.

As a monk I also experiences some longings,  an embrace, tender feelings to a woman. The problem is how do I cope to this since I am a monk?
This is something different since I have to stay chaste and pure.
True love is without lust and avarice.When I fall in love, I discover mutual feelings that I can not express outside. This is a big challenge and I bring this feeling closer to the fountain of Great Love.
I feel this closeness when I make the sign of the cross, near my breast,  getting the feeling of warmth and security.
First the feeling of my own bodily warmth,  this eases my mind.  The deepness of my soul, is no emptiness, rather an affection full of spiritual strength and love, God´s love.
How do I know if this is real love? Love is facinating, uncomprehensible but the feeling is there.
It is an enchantment and the risk of being hurt are both existent, from fulfilment and dissappointment.
We always strive to find the loves of one´s life, a love that is sufficient. But no matter how big is the yearning it will never be fulfilled.
Love is an illusion, it breaks down with so much expectations.
I am a realistic person. I never moan, but I simply accept that I can not get anything I want. Going through the pain is easier, I would rather be thankful for having the chance to live the beauty of love without complaining.
This is true to me, loving and letting go, that is the mystery of life.

this is an excerpt of an interview Welt on-line in German translated for TB Forum.

Anselm Grün terminated his school years in 1964 with the A-level equivalent Abitur at the grammar school in Würzburg, Germany. In the same year he began as a novice at the nearby Benedictine Münsterschwarzach Abbey. From 1965 to 1971 he studied philosophy and theology at St. Ottilien Archabbey and in Rome. 1974 he made his PhD in theology having a focus on Karl Rahner. From 1974 to 1976 Anselm Grün studied Business in Nuremberg. His first book "Reinheit des Herzens" ("Purity of Heart") was published in 1976. More than 200 books followed and have sold about 14 million copies.

In 1977, Anselm Grün became the Cellerar of Münsterschwarzach Abbey and thus responsible for the economic administration of the abbey with its 20 businesses and the Mission Prokura. Wikipedia

Mao ni siyay feeling ug makigclose ta ni God, ma overcome jud ang whatever nga struggle in life.Nindot ug maka experience tag ing-ani noh. Mao nang salute jud ko sa mga monks nga naningkamot nga maging pure..kay because of the weakness of man,dili baya tanan nga monk nakapasar ani nga struggle,some of them failed but they tried to.
