Monastic Life in the Syrian Orthodox Church of Antioch by HH Moran Mor Ignatius Zakka.pdf: We call the monastic life a philosophy of Christian law and
character. It is a way of abandoning worldly life. It is filled
with yearning to attain the
life hereafter. In the monastic life,
acts countenanced and proscribed in the world are to be
avoided, the desires of the flesh are to be disciplined; all
wanton impulses are to be checked, everything that cannot be
brought into harmony with the true Chris
tian faith is to be
avoided.
