GROTTAFERRATA, Italia, 30 nov (Reuters) – En un antiguo monasterio, detr\u00e1s de enormes almenas medievales en una ciudad ubicada en la cima de una colina al sur de Roma, 10 monjes se esfuerzan por mantener viva una tradici\u00f3n espiritual de 1.600 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Con edades comprendidas entre los 23 y los 89 a\u00f1os, se encuentran entre los \u00faltimos monjes basilianos de rito bizantino que quedan en Italia, adherentes a una orden fundada por San Basilio en 356 en la actual Turqu\u00eda, que todav\u00eda siguen su r\u00e9gimen asc\u00e9tico de oraci\u00f3n y trabajo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El hermano Claudio Corsaro, de 27 a\u00f1os, abandon\u00f3 una prometedora carrera como cantante de \u00f3pera para convertirse en monje. Ahora solo canta en la capilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTen\u00eda solo seis a\u00f1os cuando sent\u00ed al Se\u00f1or por primera vez, pero me di cuenta plenamente de mi vocaci\u00f3n muchos a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s, cuando ya hab\u00eda comenzado mi carrera de cantante\u201d, dijo mientras caminaba entre olivos en el recinto del monasterio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Corsaro y sus cofrades visten el h\u00e1bito de los eclesi\u00e1sticos ortodoxos, que incluyen t\u00fanicas negras sueltas y el tradicional sombrero redondo de punta plana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El monje basiliano San Nilo fund\u00f3 la abad\u00eda de Grottaferrata en 1004, 50 a\u00f1os antes de que el Gran Cisma de 1054 dividiera el cristanismo oriental y occidental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En ese momento, los monjes Grottaferrata eligieron permanecer fieles al Papa en Roma en lugar de cambiar su lealtad al patriarca reci\u00e9n establecido en Constantinopla, ahora Estambul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sin embargo, hasta el d\u00eda de hoy predican el rito bizantino oriental, incluido el rezo de la Divina Liturgia, su versi\u00f3n de la misa, en griego antiguo. Los cat\u00f3licos en Occidente dan misa en los idiomas locales y ocasionalmente en lat\u00edn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El r\u00e9gimen diario empieza a las 05.30 con una oraci\u00f3n individual y adoraci\u00f3n comunitaria. Luego hacen trabajo en la huerta y los olivares, la pintura de iconos, estudio y tareas del hogar. Luego del almuerzo, descansan, realizan m\u00e1s trabajo, m\u00e1s oraciones y luego se van temprano a la cama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La mayor\u00eda de los monjes tienen conexiones con peque\u00f1as comunidades \u00e9tnicas griegas o albanesas del sur de Italia pobladas por descendientes de los primeros colonos del este.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Son los \u00faltimos monjes de la tradici\u00f3n italo-albanesa en seguir la Regla de San Basilio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
