Domestic Monastery: Creating Spiritual Life at Home
"A dose of grace for parents" This short easy-to-read book shows the simplicity of leading a contemplative life outside the monastery. What is a monastery? A monastery is a place set apart—a place to learn the blessings of powerlessness, and that time is not ours but God’s. Our home and our duties can, just like a monastery, teach us those things. The vocation of monastic men and women is to physically withdraw from the world to provide for contemplation and reflection. But the principle is equally valid for those of us who cannot go off to monasteries we too can find spiritual peace and grace at home. In ten brief and powerful chapters, Fr. Ron explores how monastery life can apply to those who don't live in a cloister:
