Author Bio
▼▲Editorial Reviews
▼▲"Prayer, for Fr Rolheiser is a relationship, a long term one and lives by those rules (p.43). Pointing out the necessary tension that lies between contemplation and action (as well as that between passion and purity, intellect and will, community and individuality, p.55) Fr Rolheiser shows us the creative tension that lies in the path of those who seek a Domestic Monastery. I would not only recommend you buy a copy of this small spiritual classic but that you purchase one as a gift for those friends, colleagues, loved ones and family members who have struggled these past few months to make sense of the impact of the deadly covid virus. This charming little book will, I am sure, bring a lot of healing to a traumatized world. Thank you Fr Rolheiser." -- Peter Tyler, soulpursuit
