Description: 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 Christianity’s East and West, learns the Orthodox practice of "the prayer of the heart," and explores the landscape, the monastic communities, and the food of Athos--a 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 Basil’s stay. The abbot’s 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.

Description: 'Before I turned eleven, I had already begun to enjoy something that before I had never done nor known what it was, which was to dress myself carefully with concern for how I looked. And my not having wasted time on this vanity was no virtue of mine, but of my mother and sisters, because in our home I never saw so much as a trace of that poison and snare of women, poor things. And though in those years I went about squandering so much, I never heard mention of the things that go on in the world.And as far as finery and adornments that are used there, I have never been inclined to nor fond of such things, for I have always felt great repugnance - I do not mean only as to using them myself on my own person, but even seeing them on other people; because I have always known how ill spent is the time some people spend in dressing themselves only to look pleasing to anyone who sees them. Well, as I was saying about how I would dress with care, especially my hair (for I had very pretty hair at that time), I was not so lacking in light [as not] to know that in itself was bad' - Maria de San Jose.The autobiographical writings of Madre Maria de San Jose (1656-1719) - mystic, chronicler, and co-founder of an Augustinian convent - capture the spirit of Baroque Mexico and the circumstances in which the majority of Spanish and Spanish American religious women wrote. A relatively uneducated woman from a family of Spanish descent, Maria entered the Convent of Santa Monica (Puebla) at age thirty-one. There her confessor became concerned about the orthodoxy of Maria's vivid spiritual life, which was filled with supernatural visions of God, saints, and demons. This confessor asked Maria to record the years she spent on her family's working hacienda and her call to the religious life. The journal continued, in twelve volumes, throughout Maria's more than thirty years in the convent.Madre Maria inscribed her life story within the model of spiritual autobiography set by Sts. Augustine and Teresa of Avila, but at the same time included her individual life as a seventeenth-century woman of the landowning classes in New Spain. The resulting manuscript records in intimate detail her family life, convent surroundings, and social milieu; it introduces us to a combative and engaging person and gives us a rare and vivid glimpse of a complex society. In Madre Maria's lively prose, a down-to-earth treatment of daily life both on a provincial hacienda and in a cloistered convent moves into passages rendering deep mystical absorption. As a charismatic woman living according to Counter-Reformation guidelines in the New World, Maria de San Jose and her writings illuminate how class, race, gender - even birth order and convent prestige - determined the roles people played in society and how they contributed to community believe and identity.

Description: He was known as the saint-making Pope and he reinvigorated the world's devotion to saints. Blessed John Paul II, himself a candidate for sainthood, left a treasury of ideals and hope for the future in these "examples of courage and coherence." He offered us these real lives lived in extraordinary ways as ones to identify with, aspire to, and ask for intercession. Organized from A to Z, each listing in this accurate, easy-to-use treasury includes the Holy Father's actual words from the canonization ceremony. The Bunsons, respected for their meticulous work on a variety of reference resources, have researched and added to their earlier work on this subject in order to bring you this complete volume covering the entire span of Blessed John Paul II's papacy.

Description: The growing scholarly attention in recent years to the religious world of late antiquity has focused new attention on the quest for holiness by the strange, compelling, often obscure early Christian monks known as the desert fathers. Yet until now, little attention has been given to one of the most vital dimensions of their spirituality: their astute, penetrating interpretation of Scripture. Rooted in solitude, cultivated in an atmosphere of silence, oriented toward the practical appropriation of the sacred texts, the desert fathers' hermeneutic profoundly shaped every aspect of their lives and became a significant part of their legacy. This book explores the setting within which the early monastic movement emerged, the interpretive process at the center of the desert fathers' quest for holiness, and the intricate patterns of meaning woven into their words and their lives.

Description: In the autumn of 1892 a young Russian peasant named Simeon from the province of Tambov was drawn to that ancient repository of Orthodox spirituality, Mt Athos. He had done his military service and now came to the Russian Monastery of St Panteleimon, to embark on long years of spiritual combat lasting until his death in 1938. Although he was unlearned and ignorant in the ordinary sense, tireless inner strivings gave him authentic personal experience of Christianity identical with that of many of the early ascetic Desert Fathers. The first part of this book is a remarkable account of St Silouan's life, personality and teaching by his spiritual disciple Archimandrite Sophrony. Archimandrite Sophrony went to Mt Athos in 1925 and there at the Monastery of St Panteleimon became amanuensis to Staretz Silouan. Part two comprises the writings of Silouan, originally penciled in laborious, unformed characters on odd scraps of paper. The Lord said, "Every one that is of the truth hears my voice" (John 18:37). And according to Father Sophrony, "these words are applicable to Staretz Silouan's notes ... [That] whoever has received from God the mind and wisdom to know him will be aware in the Staretz' words of the breath of the Holy Spirit." In 1988 Staretz Silouan was placed in the canon of saints by the Ecumenical Patriarchate of the Orthodox Church.
