The postulate

 

“The postulate is a period of initiation and gradual adaptation to Cistercian life. The novice mistress teaches the postulants to enter into prayer, into the Divine Office and into lectio divina. It also helps them overcome the difficulties they encounter which are specific to this stage: difficulties related to the physical and emotional separation from the activities and relationships that were part of their life before entering the monastery.

Although it is not a time for studies, however the postulate will be the moment, for some, if it could not be done sooner, to complete their catechetical instruction so that they benefit better from the teaching. teaching given in the novitiate. "

n ° 27 Formation Charter of the Cistercian Order of Strict Observance (O.C.S.O. or Order of "Trappists")

 

The duration of the postulancy is not strictly limited. This flexibility makes it possible to adjust to the pace of individual adaptation. More often, however, about a year elapses between arrival in community and admission to the novitiate.
