How Do You Pray?

"The tranquility of order is a dynamic tranquility, the stillness of a flame burning in perfect calm, of a wheel spinning so fast that it seems to stand still. Silence in this sense is not only a quality of the environment, but primarily an attitude, an attitude of listening. ... Let us give to one another that gift of silence, so that we can listen together and listen to one another. Only in this silence will we be able to hear that gentle breath of peace, that music to which the spheres dance, that universal harmony to which we, too, hope to dance." Austrian-born Benedictine monk David Steindl-Rast is one of the most influential and beloved spiritual teachers of our time. For decades, Brother David has divided his time between periods of monastic life at the Mount Saviour Monastery in New York and extensive lecture tours on five continents. He has brought spiritual depth into the lives of countless people, whom he touches through his lectures, his workshops and his writings. Brother David was one of the first Roman Catholics to participate in Buddhist-Christian dialogue, studying under Zen teachers and building bridges between religious traditions. His newest book, The Way of Silence, draws heavily on Buddhist teachings to cultivate the practice of "deep" listening: turning away from noise and distraction, paying attention, and embracing quiet. The Way of Silence embraces paradox: absence versus presence in silence. Dynamic tranquility. The all-oneness of aloneness. Humbly, trusting in God, you'll practice emptying your mind in order to receive wisdom, insight, and understanding. You'll learn to listen deeply, with a trusting heart--and you'll joyously discover a new, interior freedom that will make you feel more vibrant, and more fully alive.

A Gift of Gratitude

A Good Day

Hermit, Zen Christian, spiritual globetrotter, "Brother David" tells his incomparably rich life story spanning the nine decades of his life. Beginning with his childhood in Vienna, he describes his time in World War II and his years as a student after the war, his family's immigration to the United States, and his entry into the then newly founded Benedictine monastery in the state of New York. There he soon began looking for what were then still untrodden spiritual paths with undiscovered entry ways to non-Christian religions. He became particularly involved in the dialogue between Christianity and Buddhism, founding the Center for Spiritual Studies in 1968, together with Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, and Muslims. His work encouraging dialogue between religions earned him the 1975 Martin Buber Award for his achievements in building bridges between religious traditions. Contemplation and periods of public life alternate with Brother David: be spends half the year living as a recluse in the hermitage near his Benedictine monastery. Mysticism is his mission-but not a mysticism devoid of connection to the world. His is a mysticism of the everyday, of life immediate in the now, of experiencing fully. He is convinced that God's spirit speaks in and to us all. Book jacket.

99 Names of God

Anselm Grün

A personal, surprising, and heart-warming book wherein two spiritual masters of our time advance the central questions of life and faith.“Brother David Steindl-Rast and Father Anselm Grün are figures of hope, people who by the power of their example can offer an orientation in a world that has become too complex to comprehend. The spirituality they radiate is an everyday thing that is nevertheless both profound and vivid. . . . “Our conversations, on which this book is based, could be read as a ‘crash course’ in Christian spirituality. This book will be an inspiration and an aid to spiritual life for many people of our time, whether they are believers or not.”Johannes KaupFrom the Introduction
