The Carthusian monk only has one focus: God. "The Father asks to be worshipped in spirit and in truth". The Carthusian has answered this call. The first commandment sums up his whole life: "You shall love and adore God alone, above all else". And when one speaks of God, one speaks to every age. All those who seek spiritual peace will appreciate this simple and sober presentation of profound truths, centered on a humble contemplation of the mysteries of God.Translated from the original French by a Benedictine Oblate in London's Fraternity of St. Gregory, this book brings together fourteen different sermons originally preached by a Prior to his monks in the years 1963-69. According to a once more widespread tradition in monasteries, the sermon is preached in the chapter house, outside the Mass, hence the title of Chapter Sermons. The themes of these meditations follow the rhythm of the liturgical year, taking as their inspiration some of the main feast days in the Church's worship. It was first published in French by the monks of the Abbey of Le Barroux in Provence.Oblate, Benedictine is the author of 'Chapter Sermons' with ISBN 9781901157352 and ISBN 1901157350.
