The importance of Chariton lays mainly in the fact that he established by his own example the rules for monastic life in the Judaean desert, in the context of lavra-type monasteries.[Butler, Richard Urban (1910). [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09039a.htm "Laura"]. [[The Catholic Encyclopedia]]. Vol. 9. New York: Robert Appleton Company. Via newadvent.org. Accessed 2 Jul. 2019] These rules became the main traits of monastic rule everywhere, based on [[asceticism]] and solitude: he lived in silence, only ate certain types of food and only after sundown, performed manual work, spent the night in an alternation of sleep and [[psalmody]], prayed at fixed hours, stayed in his cell, and controlled his thoughts. |
