A Program of Christian Perfection in the Light of Pastoral Exhortations (Part 3: Means for Christian Perfection)

Summary/Abstract: Caesarius of Arles was one of the most prominent figures of his time. He sought to influence the behaviour of his community through passionate and deeply thoughtful sermons. One of the issues he addressed was the programme of Christian improvement, in which the clergyman called on his listeners to fight sins such as divination and pagan customs, cohabitation and adultery, abortion, drunkenness, pride and envy, as well as to acquire virtues. The subject of the considerations presented in this article are the means of Christian perfection presented by the Bishop of Arles, namely prayer, fasting and almsgiving, which in the sermons of the Gallic preacher were considered very important for those striving for Christian perfection.
