korduvremissioon

Korduvremissioon refers to the act of repeatedly sending a member of a religious order back to their original house or community after a period of service or assignment elsewhere. This concept is most prominently found within certain monastic traditions, particularly in Catholicism. When a monk or nun is sent on an assignment, such as to teach, to a mission, or to another monastery, they may be formally "remitted" back to their home community upon completion of that duty.

The purpose of korduvremissioon can vary. It often serves to reinforce the individual's primary vows and commitment to their original vocation and community. It allows for reflection and reintegration after external experiences, and can be seen as a way to prevent individuals from becoming too detached from their foundational spiritual home. In some cases, it may also be a practical measure to ensure that monasteries maintain their full complement of members and can continue their established routines and ministries. The process usually involves a formal decision by the superior of the order and an acceptance back into the community life. This practice highlights the emphasis on communal living and the enduring nature of religious vows within these traditions.
