Sources of the obedience consecrated

Summary/Abstract: The article presentsthe basic sources ofthoughtsforthe obedience consecrated. The theological analysis of the typical rules of the original Christian cenobitic monasticism (The Rule of St. Pachomius, The Asketikon of St.Basil the Great, Praeceptum of St. Augustine of Hippo, the Rule of St. Benedict of Nursia), as well as The Scripture of Saint Francis of Assisi and Magisterium of the Catholic Church of XX and XXI century point to the roots of the conception of the consecrated obedience in the Bible (refers to the conception of the obedience to God, to the authorities as well as each other obedience). The legislation which is being considerated points to the Word of God (Gospel) as the “first rule of life” of the consecrated. According to The Asketikon of St.Basil the Great,the Rule of St. Benedict, The Scripture of Saint Francis and Postconciliar Documents of the Church, voluntary obedience according to Phil 2,8 (and John 6,38), is the imitation of Christ – obsequious and obedient unto death. Diversity ofthe norms concerning the obedience arisesfrom the need to application of the conception in the specific condition of life and the adjustment of everyday life under the superior’s patronage. The scriptures which are being studied as well as biblical references are the inspiration for the updating the conception of consecrated obedience today.
