Description
Dom Bernard Bonowitz's Three-Course Banquet: Humility, Charity, and Contemplation in the De Gradibus offers a modern interpretation of Saint Bernard's famous work, The Steps of Humility and Pride. This concise book explores the essential chapter 7 of Saint Benedict's sixth-century Rule for Monks, which forms the spiritual foundation of all Benedictine existence.
Originally conceived as conferences for Cistercian "juniors," this book provides a unique opportunity to engage with the monastic tradition and its connection to the Gospel. With his extensive experience in teaching and spiritual direction, Dom Bernard Bonowitz guides readers through the key principles of humility, charity, and contemplation.
Written by a convert from Judaism with a degree in Classics, this book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of monastic life and its relevance to modern spirituality.
