Thirty elders of the Benedictine Order, all born between 1901 and 1925 and at home in thirty monasteries and convents across the country, share their touching and thought-provoking life stories--the everyday rhythm and ritual of prayer and work, solitude and community, sanctity and humor; the most challenging moments of questioning, uncertainty, and tribulation; and moments of infinite inner peace and mystical joy.
"This is a wonderfully nourishing book full of honest and inspired insights. It gathers the essence of Benedictine life, chronicled by those who have lived it and who know it best. Readers will find warmth, clarity, and a spark of the divine in these lives." --Katharine Le Mee, author, Chant and The Benedictine Gift to Music
