In these writings monastic wisdom meets the spiritual questions and
hungers of our age.
"Much of our life may be a wandering in the desert lands, but we
do find springs of water. If what is called 'God' means in the
language of experience the ultimate Source of Meaning, then those
moments that quench the thirst of the heat are moments of
prayer."
David Steindl-Rast (b. 1926), an Austrian-born Benedictine
monk, is one of the most influential spiritual teachers in the
world. Founder of the Mount Savior Monastery in Elmira, New York,
he was an early pioneer in the field of Buddhist-Christian
dialogue. As a leading figure in the House of Prayer movement, he
contributed to a broad renewal of religious life. In classic books
such as Gratefulness, The Heart of Prayer, and A Listening Heart,
he advanced the notion of "grateful living." Gratefulness, he
wrote, is "the inner gesture of giving meaning to our life by
receiving life as a gift."
