Theological nature of monasticism according to some aspects of H. U. von Balthasar's theology

Definition of eremitic life described as solus cum solo represents the essence summary of contemplative calling: participation in representative sufferings of Christ for the redemption of the world insofar as monastic solitude (solus) leans on Son's forsakness on the Cross (solo), and in doing so, it expresses monastic discipleship of the Cross. In that context, theological nature of monasticism requires insight in God's redemptive kenosis wich constitutes adequaute theological foundation in understanding of contemplative calling. Simultaneously, discipleship of the Cross and positioning of monasticism in the area of Holy Saturday provides deeper insight of monastic life as an ecclesial mission. Balthasar's reflection of paschal mystery and dramatic soteriology provides us with solid foundation in reflection of theological nature of monasticism.
