Thanks to him, the asceticism of the Egyptian deserts was embodied in western monasticism in a way which was cenobitical and culturally suitable. | Gracias a él, el ascetismo del desierto de Egipto pasó al monaquismo occidental en una forma cenobiticamente inculturada. |
Some of these hermits gathered around themselves groups of disciples, and gave rise to the Pachomian cenobitical communities, characterized by a strong, and sometimes harsh, discipline. | Algunos de estos eremitas reunieron en torno a sí grupos de discípulos, que dieron origen al cenobitismo egipcio o pacomiano, caracterizado por una disciplina fuerte, a veces ruda. |
