Summary
The sermon was a feature of monastic life from early times as a vehicle for spiritual instruction, pastoral guidance, and formal ceremonial (for example, to mark the election of a superior), but it was only in the later Middle Ages that the practice of preaching to audiences inside and outside the cloister became a common occupation for monastic men and women.
