I know that it has long been a Christian practice to spend ones final years in a monastic setting, praying and getting ready to meet God, but I can find scant evidence that this practice continues into the modern day. I think I have even read somewhere (forgive me, I cannot remember where) that some monasteries have a age limit set on who can join them.
Therefore, my question is straightforward, can and do people still retire to monastic life?
