The emphasis in one's
hermitage is on the fact that in
solitary prayer and meditation one gets deeper into the root of things, comes
to see self more clearly as in the eyes of God, realizes more perfectly the
real nature of one's need for grace and for the Holy Spirit and comes to
a more ardent love of Jesus Crucified.

The eremitism
of
St.
Francis and his followers is deeply evangelical and
remains always open to the world, while recognizing the
need to maintain a
certain distance and perspective, a freedom that keeps one
from being submerged in active cares and devoured by
the claims
of exhausting work.
