Silence

$10.00

 Product Description

Unfortunately, today the ascetical part of our spiritual life does not have many admirers, still less, followers. Many would like to reach the peak of perfection in a very short time, without any mortification or self-denial. To them it seems that love is all that is needed because it is the bond of perfection. What they say is correct but incomplete — they do not fully understand how many sacrifices are demanded by Christian love. We cannot really love God and our brothers if we do not die to ourselves. In order to love perfectly God and our neighbor, we must practically give up many things and accept many sacrifices. Love asks for courageous and generous sacrifices! “Love must hurt us,” said Mother Teresa of Calcutta. 
— from the Concluding Conference

  1. Modern conferences on eremitical spirituality 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 26th Aug 2022

    A contemporary, and deeply thoughtful set of conferences on profound aspects of eremitical spirituality. A superb companion volume to the book, 'In Praise of Hiddenness'. Both volumes compact treasures to be read and re-read many times.
