英文摘要Since the dawn of Christian spirituality the cell has been a symbol of the soul's place of solitude, where Christ arrives and is received as a guest. The human heart is the final destination of that infinite Pilgrimage which the Word undertook when it became incarnate. It is the first stopping-place on a path that, beginning from the mystery of the Trinity, descends into the depths of man through the mystery of the Incarnation and then climbs again to the Father who embraces everything and everyone in the complete Christ who returns to the bosom of the Trinity. Outside the cell where the divine Guest is encountered there is an atrium, as was the case already in the first hermitages, the first monasteries. The cell, a symbol of the heart; the atrium, a symbol of the space of encounter-a receiving room, as it were, outside the nuptial chamber of mystic love, a step beyond it, where Christ approaches as a pilgrim in the brother who arrives. The symbolism of the atrium invites us to throw open the doors of the heart and embrace each brother as he reaches us. The hearth-fire that warms him as he comes in is the Love of God who burns and shines forth from within the hermitic space of the heart. The fraternal atria of the heavenly dialogues, like those of Benedict and Scholastica, Augustine and Monica, or Therese of Lisieux and her brothers, come to be sacraments of the Logos: tangible signs of the divine dialogue, a way of entry and a participation in the Trinity, which is the eternal Dialogue of luminous Love.
