anchorite, An anchorite or anchoret (female: anchoress; adj. anchoritic; from , anachÅrÄtá¸s, one who has retired from the world, from the verb , anachÅrÃ©Å, signifying to withdraw, to retire) is someone who, for religious reasons, withdraws from secular society so as to be able to lead an intensely prayer-oriented, ascetic, andâcircumstances permittingâEucharist-focused life.
It pursues as rebels, and derides as fools, those who shake off its yoke and scatter to the winds its riches, honours, and pleasures. In its extremest isolation, the life of the Christian anchorite is no Nirvana. The soul occupied with divine thoughts freed from all distracting cares leads an existence most consonant to man's rational nature, and consequently productive of the highest type of happiness obtainable on this earth.
