Synopsis

Fr. Benedict tells of his calling to the life of a cloistered contemplative monk, his training in a Spanish monastery, and his being sent to only Carthusian monastery in the U.S. He was trained to live to the letter of the rule, and compares that training to what he actually lived as a fully trained monk, including the several positions of authority he exercised within the monastic community, up to his eventual departure and ultimate severance of ties with the Carthusian Order.

Biographie de l'auteur

The author was a cloistered contemplative monk for a total of twenty years in the most strict and austere Order of the Catholic Church, the Carthusian Order. He held the offices of Novice Master and Vocation Director, and exercised several other positions of authority within the community. Unfortunate difficulties within that monastic community contributed to his eventual departure and ultimate severance of ties with the Carthusians. By a special determination of the pope, he was released from the obligations of his vows and the priesthood.
