He was at various times a provincial in the Dominican Order, a professor of theology and a renowned preacher and spiritual director. Eckhart generally followed the teaching of Saint Thomas Aquinas but fell under suspicion of heresy for his teachings regarding the absolute transcendence and unknowability of God. His profession of faith, repudiation of error and submission to the Holy See were declared by Pope John XXII in 1329. Discover the foundation of the soul Meister Eckhart teaches that the “foundation of the soul” is an uncreated spark, the seat of divine life where the birth of the Word takes place and where our (limited but essential) resemblance to God is realized. By putting aside sin and laying bare the soul, we may achieve through contemplation a mystical union with God. This 15-day retreat opens these mystical teachings but constantly recalls us to their practical application, through reflections on “Suffering,” “Martha and Mary,” and “Answering Spiritual Hunger,” among others.

Born in 480 to a distinguished family in Nursia, Benedict as a young man abandoned his studies and gave up his inheritance to pursue a monastic life. He lived for several years as a hermit in Subiaco, where a group of monks seeking a spiritual leader joined him. After an attempt on his life he moved to Monte Cassino, where he founded the abbey considered the birthplace of the Benedictine order. At Monte Cassino Benedict wrote his Rule and died there in 547. Benedict required of himself and his monastic brothers a life of work, prayer and spiritual reading—a pattern that anyone may reproduce in some form today. Benedict asks us to listen carefully and look for God, to practice obedience, humility and renunciation and finally to lose ourselves in the liturgy, in the Scriptures and in prayer. Not everyone is called to the monastic ideal of poverty, chastity and obedience but even the busiest person may draw nearer to God and live humbly and prayerfully, in the spirit of Saint Benedict. A book in the 15 Days of Prayer series: On a journey, it’s good to have a guide. Even great saints took spiritual directors or confessors with them on their itineraries toward sanctity. Now you can be guided by the most influential spiritual figures of all time. The 15 Days of Prayer series introduces their deepest and most personal thoughts. This popular series is perfect if you are looking for a gift or if you want to be introduced to a particular guide and his or her spirituality. Each volume contains: • A brief biography of the saint or spiritual leader • A guide to creating a format for prayer or retreat • Fifteen meditation sessions with focus points and reflection guides

One of the most prolific Cistercian authors, Thomas Merton was also one of the most humane and engaging spiritual figures of the twentieth century. He was a man of paradoxes: of words and silence, a contemplative involved in the fight for social justice, and a man of solitude who, by keeping himself in the background, sought to deepen the fundamental human experience. Ultimately, he was a man with only one goal: union with God and communion with humankind. 
 Enjoy your time with Thomas Merton and be prepared to be surprised a s you journey with one of the most fascinating figures of our time.
