Description
Living Wisdom: The Mission and Transmission of Monasticism
Cristiana Piccardo reflects on the story of the Vitorchiano monastic family, whose unique approach to Christianity has inspired six new monasteries around the world over four decades. At its heart is a vision of the monastery as a microcosm of the church and human society.
Through her account, Piccardo reveals the secret to the Vitorchiano community's success: a commitment to hard work, communal striving, friendship, honesty in communication, a sense of humor, and above all, love. This wisdom seeks the kingdom of God ardently yet realistically, without bypassing essential human foundations.
