How do the Canons Regular understand the common life?
In the tradition of St. Augustine, the common life is going together to God as priests and religious. While there are a diversity of ways in which Canons Regular live out this vocation, these are all based on the Rule of St. Augustine, which presents a vision of priestly common life and lays out the principles by which such a life is made possible. Each house or congregation moreover is guided by a constitution, which spells out the specifics of the Canonical Life in a particular time and place. The two pillars of this life are common prayer, which manifests the union of souls and hearts, and common meals, which expresses the union of goods and property.
