Sister Joan Chittister presents St. Benedict in the form of a year's worth of brief daily readings. Each month is a chapter and the chapters begin a story about the founder of the Benedictine order and continues with a short paragraph for each day of the month. I read it through and learned a bit about Benedict and the contemplative life. The importance of Benedict is that he was instrumental in establishing monasticism in Europe as the Roman empire fell and poverty and barbarians followed. The Benedictine practices of combining work, prayer and study have something valuable to offer. ( ) näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Very little in this world stays fresh and life-giving for 1,500 years. But when that happens we should ask ourselves why and what that had to do with us. In this book, The Radical Christian Life: A Year with Saint Benedict, Joan Chittister encourages us to look at that question. In an introductory essay she examines how the insights and values of the sixth-century Visionary Saint Benedict can illuminate today's search for a meaningful life. Then she leads us through the year, reflecting on twelve stories from Benedict's life, anecdotes that give us glimpses into his soul. More than that, she draws from these stories daily thoughts for the development of our own spiritual lives in this day and age. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
