Trappistism

Trappistism refers to the spiritual practices and lifestyle of Trappist monks, a Catholic monastic order known for its strict adherence to silence, simplicity, and contemplative prayer. Their focus is on cultivating a deep connection with God through solitary, meditative prayer, manual work, and living simply. Trappists emphasize community life, humility, and self-discipline, often supporting themselves through tasks like farming and brewing. The discipline fosters inner peace, spiritual growth, and a life free from worldly distractions, aiming to serve as a model of devotion and simplicity within the Catholic tradition.
