The Contemplative Life: Considered in Its Apostolic Aspect (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book explores the apostolic aspect of contemplative life, discussing its significant religious aspects and its practical role in the modern world. The author, a Carthusian monk, posits that contemplative prayer and self-denial are essential to conversion, spiritual growth, and the perfection of saints. He traces the historical development of contemplative religious orders, from their origins in the early Church to their contemporary manifestations. The book provides insights into the monastic practices, vows, and rules that govern the lives of contemplative religious, and examines the vital, yet often overlooked, role they play in the Church's mission. It offers a compelling case for the importance of contemplation and austerity in the face of declining faith and offers insights that will resonate with both religious and secular readers.
