For three decades, Monastic Practices has been a valued resource
for English-speaking aspirants to monastic life. In this revised
edition, updated and expanded, Charles Cummings, OCSO, explores the
common practices of the monastic life in order to rediscover them
as viable means of leading persons to a deeper encounter with God.
How do monks and nuns occupy themselves throughout the day? Have
they modernized their lifestyle or is it still cluttered with
medieval customs? Could any of the monastic practices be of use to
those outside the monastery? A certain wisdom is necessary to know
how to use such practices and how to give oneself to them until
they lead one to God. After long monastic experience, Cummings
shows us how the ordinary things we do constitute our path to God.
In the art of living life, he argues, we are always beginners,
searching for God through our concrete circumstances and actions.
