Описание: Does humility have a place in contemporary life? Were Enlightenment thinkers wrong to reject humility as a "monkish virtue" (Hume) arising from a "slave morality" (Nietzsche)? Australian theologian Jane Foulcher recovers the countercultural reading of humility that marked early Christianity and examines its trajectory at key junctures in the development of Western monasticism. Humility emerges not as a moral virtue achieved by human effort but as a way opened by grace-as a divine "climate" (Christian de Cherg ) that we are invited to inhabit. From fourth-century Egypt to twentieth-century Algeria, via Saint Benedict and Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, Dr. Foulcher's compelling analysis of theology and practice challenges the church to reclaim Christian humility as essential to its life and witness today.
Monastic life involves a continual return to the Gospel
and this exploration begins on the road to Emmaus, in
the company of downhearted disciples who were
astonished to discover the Lord in their midst. Inviting
the reader to a renewed encounter with the Lord on
the road, this book explores the Rule of Saint Benedict
and illustrates how the English Benedictine Congregation
is responding to Christ's call today. It will
inspire all clergy, religious, and laypeople who value
the consecrated life.

Описание: As master of novices for ten years (1955 1965) at the Cistercian Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani in Kentucky, Thomas Merton was responsible for the spiritual formation of young men preparing for monastic profession. In this volume, three related sets of Merton s conferences on ancient and contemporary documents governing the lives of the monks are published for the first time: on the Carta Caritatis, or Charter of Charity, the foundational document of the Order of Citeaux on the Consuetudines, the twelfth-century collection of customs and regulations of the Order on the twentieth-century Constitutions of the Order, the basic rules by which Merton and his students actually lived at the time These conferences form an essential part of the overall picture of Cistercian monastic life that Merton provided as part of his project of initiation into the monastic tradition that is evident in the broad variety of courses that he put together and taught over the period of his mastership. As Abbot John Eudes Bamberger, ocso, himself a former student of Merton, notes in his preface to this volume, The texts presented in this present book eventually gave rise to the Cistercian way of spiritual living that continues to contribute to the Church s witness in this new millennium. This publication is a witness to the process of transformation that ensures the continuity of the Catholic monastic tradition that witnesses to the God who, as Saint Augustine observed is ever old and ever new.
