Discover the rich spirituality of monastic life on Mount
Athos
a place like no other on earth.
Twenty-five years ago, M. Basil Pennington, OCSO, was the first
Western monk to live on Mount Athos for more than the usually
permitted overnight visit. "The Monks of Mount Athos" chronicles
his extraordinary stay, his experiences of the East, and lively
conversations with his hosts about theological differences and
unfamiliar spiritual practices.
Listen in as Abbot Basil wrestles with historical differences
between Christianitys East and West, learns the Orthodox practice
of the prayer of the heart, and explores the landscape, the
monastic communities, and the food of Athosa monastic republic like
no other place on earth. New to this edition, Archimandrite
Dionysios, a monk from the Holy Mountain, reflects on the
ecumenical openness fostered as a result of, and since, Abbot
Basils stay.
The abbots experiences on Mount Athos motivated him to
re-examine his role as a monk and his relationship to God. His
inspiring meditations will help you to explore your own
relationship to God and to others.
