Description

Christ the Ideal of the Monk explores the origins of every vocation, including the simple Christian vocation, as a response to God's merciful love. This work, written by Blessed Columba Marmion, is a timeless guide to the monastic virtues and grounds the religious life in the person of Christ.

Drawing on centuries of tradition and personal experience, Abbot Marmion presents monastic observance in a way that is both accessible and profound. This centenary edition features entirely re-typeset text, corrected references, new translations of Latin quotations, and a new foreword by Abbot Xavier Perrin.

Perfect for those seeking a deeper understanding of the monastic way of life, this book provides a renewed trust in Christ and St Benedict's guidance, making it a valuable resource for monks, nuns, oblates, and Christians alike.
