Simply Living the Beatitudes "Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

Complete with prayers, reflections, and practical advice, this book will become your companion for simply living these words from Jesus in Matthew's Gospel. The Beatitudes have always challenged Christians through the centuries. In today's fast paced world we long to slow down and learn what it means to: -- be poor in spirit, -- take time for our faith to rise from our mourning, -- become the meek servant of God, -- choose righteousness -- act with mercy -- find purity within our own hearts -- love one another in peace as the children of God -- persevere in justice and love despite the worl

A Monastery Journey to Christmas

Full of wonder and joyful anticipation, the Christmas season is the perfect time for Christians to take a break from their busy schedules and ponder the wonderful works of God―in the depths of their heart. Based on the ancient Christian tradition of meditating throughout the 40 days before and after Christmas, this small monastic book follows the rhythm of the Advent and Christmas journey as it takes place in a particular monastery, a place as small and tiny as Bethlehem itself. This book offers a meditation based in a liturgical, biblical, traditional, or literary text for every day from November 15th to January 13th and then February 1st and 2nd. Best-selling author Br. Victor-Antoine d’Avila-Latourrette will help you fill Christmas with moments of quiet prayer. Experience a deepening faith while awaiting in joyful expectation for the Savior’s coming.

From the origins of Benedictine tradition to our everyday lives, A Rhythm of Life: The Monastic Way traces and reflects upon a way of life that is both simple and inspiring. Brother Victor-Antoine highlights the many traditions, both daily and yearly, that bring us back to a prayerful life that often escapes us in our busy day-to-day lives. The wisdom of the monastic life, inspired by St. Benedict, inspires us to apply those traditions and values as we are guided by reflection through the varying seasons.

This engaging collection of more than 200 delicious, satisfying salads is organized according to the bounty of the seasons from the first spring harvest (Salmon and Cucumber Salad) to the heartier fare of the winter months (Venetian Gorgonzola Salad).
