Product Details
Countless men and women across the ages have chosen to live a "monastic" life either in solitude or in community. The monastic life encouraged by Benedict of Nursia lay in "simply living this life, our daily life, well... every simple, single action of it" and this spiritual way of living became the Benedictine Rule. In her book The Monastery of the Heart An Invitation to a Meaningful Life, Sr. Joan Chittister anchors her writing in this Benedictine method but attempts to redefine it to open it up to those who are today seeking a simpler, more purposeful life in the midst of the social upheavals and globalization found occurring around them.
Monastery of the Heart is laid out in almost free verse form which allows the flow of the message but somewhat organizes and emphasizes the thoughts being presented. The book is divided into sections entitled
- Our Search
- Our Interior Life
- Our Community
- Our Service
- Our Promise
- Our Spiritual Growth.
Internationally known best-selling author and lecturer Sr. Joan Chittister has given us a guide meant to "be a new way to live a meaningful spiritual life in the world today rather than to withdraw from it".
