基督教修道主义是生活苦行僧的人们的奉献实践，通常是致力于基督徒崇拜的隐居生活。他们的自我放弃方式有三个与三个福音派劝告相对应的要素：贫穷，贞洁和顺从。在传统的天主教社会中，修道院社区经常负责教育和医疗等社会服务。

Christian monasticism is the devotional practice of individuals who live ascetic and typically cloistered lives that are dedicated to Christian worship.Their manner of self-renunciation has three elements corresponding to the three evangelical counsels: poverty, chastity and obedience.In traditional Catholic societies, monastic communities often took charge of social services such as education and healthcare.
