Notes from a Monastery--The Sacred Way Every Day

A bold new series from Abbey Press and the monks of Saint Meinrad Archabbey, with its more than 150-year-old tradition of seeking God and serving the Church…

A rich new booklet series introducing the ageless wisdom of the monastery to people of all walks of life.

Notes from a Monastery conveys St. Benedict’s rich insight, common sense, moderation, flexibility, respect for humanity, and reverence for the divine. Written by religious and lay authors familiar with the Benedictine way of life, Notes from a Monastery provides inspirational and practical guidance on seeking God by preferring nothing to the love of Christ—all in a topical, concise, and accessible format.

Notes from a Monastery stresses that God’s presence is everywhere and in everyone, that we are all called to seek the extraordinary in the ordinary, and that this journey to everlasting life is a process as well as a destination.
