商品簡介
"The Secret" shared by Jean-Marie Howe, retired abbess of the Cistercian Abbey of the Assomption de l'Acadie in New Brunswick, is that through immersion in monastic life, men and women enter into contact with the Mystery of Christ, a contact which takes place at the level of the heart and gives birth to spiritual being. To explain this transformation, which applies not only to monastics but to all Christians who take serious the spiritual life, she discusses the disciplines of prayer and the lectio divina, holy reading which feeds prayer. First presented as a retreat to monks, these reflections draw not only on the traditions of monastic life, but on modern literature and films, and demonstrate the universality of the movement of the heart towards God.
