Details
Domestic Monastery explores what a monastery really offers and how you might enter this while at home. A monastery is a place set apart and Domestic Monastery illuminates how it is a place to learn the blessings of powerlessness and that time is not ours but God’s. Domestic Monastery shows that our home and our duties can, just like a monastery, teach us those things. The vocation of monastic men and women is to physically withdraw from the world. But Domestic Monastery teaches that this principle is equally valid for those of us who cannot go off to monasteries. Certain vocations offer the same kind of opportunity for contemplation, and provide a desert for reflection.
Domestic Monastery has ten brief and powerful chapters and Fr. Ronald Rolheiser explores how monastery life can apply to those who don't live in a cloister:
• Monasticism and Family Life
• The Domestic Monastery
• Real Friendship
• Lessons from the Monastic Cell
• Ritual for Sustaining Prayer
• Tensions within Spirituality
• A Spirituality of Parenting
• Spirituality and the Seasons of Our Lives
• The Sacredness of Time
• Life’s Key Question
