Description
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. But the principle is equally valid for those of us who cannot go off to monasteries. Certain vocations offer the same kind of opportunity for contemplation and provide a desert for reflection.

Secularity and the Gospel

The Shattered Lantern
Read moreThe Shattered Lantern
A hundred years ago, Nietzche had his mystical madman smash a lantern in the marketplace and announce to Western Culture that “God is dead!”. Few people took him seriously. Today, we would. Faith, if not shattered, is shaken by cultural values.
The Shatterd Lantern drew from a variety of stories and experiences to offer a spiritual antidote. The author suggests that, “The way back to a lively faith is not a question of finding the right answers, but living in a certain way.” The existence of God, like the air we breathe, need not be proven. It is a question of developing good lungs to meet it correctly.
Ronald Rolheiser shines a new light on the contemplative path of Western Christianity. He offers a way back home.

“A master weaver is at work here…I found my soul on every page. At last we have a guide who helps us know what to do with the fire of desire within us. At last a comprehensive, life-giving approach to sexuality. At last a dynamic understanding of how the paschal mystery plays in our own lives. At last a way to weave love for the poor and struggling people with the highest mystical love of God…I love this book” – Sister Helen Prejean, Author of Dead Man Walking
“Without doubt, Ronald Rolheiser’s The Holy Longing is one of the best books about Christian spirituality that has been published in many a year.

Weakland, O.S.B., Archbishop of Milwaukee

Wrestling with God: Finding Hope and Meaning in Our Daily Struggles to Be Human
Read moreWrestling with God: Finding Hope and Meaning in Our Daily Struggles to Be Human
In his latest book, Ronald Rolheiser provides an inspiring message of hope and perseverance for all of us struggling with our faith in tumultuous times.
The last few decades have rapidly birthed a modern world that would have been unrecognizable fifty years ago. As long-held beliefs on love, faith, and God are challenged by the aggregate of changes that have overhauled our world, many of us are left feeling confused and uncertain while old norms are challenged and redefined at breakneck speed.
In Wrestling with God, Ronald Rolheiser offers a steady and inspiring voice to help us avow and understand our faith in a world where nothing seems solid or permanent. Drawing from his own life experience, as well as a storehouse of literary, psychological, and theological insights, the beloved author of Sacred Fire examines the fears and doubts that challenge us. It is in these struggles to find meaning, that Rolheiser lays out a path for faith in a world struggling to find faith, but perhaps more important, he helps us find our own rhythm within which to walk that path.
