 | | And it was the foundation of a community of monks, along with their abbot, and not the foundation of an abbot who sent some of his monks to make a foundation. | | | Robert was not an abbot who had a community to bequeath to somebody else of who had communities to divide among various monastic heirs. | | | The abbot must love and serve not "his" monks but the monks that are given to his care. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Abbey of Citeaux |
| | St Robert was elected Abbot of Cîteaux, but, recalled to Molesme a year afterwards, he was succeeded by St. Alberic, who gave the monks the white habit and placed the monastery immediately under the protection of the Holy See. | | | Today the abbot is elected by the general chapter, the religious of Cîteaux not participating. | | | The election was formerly cumulative, that is, to the abbot general belonged, de jure, full administration in spiritual and temporal matters, without waiting for the confirmation of the Holy See. |

| | And now Robert himself in his forest place of prayer, which was radiant with the beauty of God, seemed to hear the insistent, whispered urgings of the holy author of the Rule. | | | Robert, the son of the noble Thierry and Ermengarde of Champagne, was heavy of heart as from his hidden place of prayer on a hill flecked with the first pale shoots of a Burgundian spring, he looked down upon the monastery of Molesme. | | | The twenty elected Robert as their abbot, and he led them in the sure way of silence and solitude; in the way of outdoor labor with their hands, even as the holy Father Benedict had prescribed. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Robert of Molesme |
| | Pope Honorius III by Letters Apostolic in 1222 authorized his veneration in the church of Molesme, and soon after the veneration of St. Robert was extended to the whole Church by a pontifical Decree. | | | Left to themselves, the monks of Molesme appealed to the pope, and Robert was restored to Molesme, which thereafter became an ardent centre of monastic life. | | | About this time a band of seven anchorites who lived in the forest of Collan, in the same diocese, sought to have Robert for their chief, but the monks, despite their constant resistance to his authority, insisted on keeping their abbot who enjoyed so great a reputation, and was the ornament of their house. |

| | As a Benedictine monk he travelled on pilgrimage to Rome, reciting the Psalms daily as he went, but it was no perfunctory repetition, for he drew from them a strength which refreshed his spirit, and their influence deeply affected the rest of his life. | | | Everything went well until the bishop of Troyes took it upon himself to moderate the austerities of these enfants terribles and to give them property so they would not be "devoured" by their zeal. | | | On Stephen's return from Rome, he and a friend came across a community of monks living a very austere and solitary life in the forest of Langres in Burgundy. |
