Drinking From the Hidden Fountain

What page, what phrase authored by God in the Old and New Testament is not the truest of guides for human life? What book of the holy catholic Fathers does not resignedly summon us along the true way until we reach our Creator? The Rule of St Benedict (73.3-4)

By presenting a passage for meditation each day through the year, Drinking From the Hidden Fountain offers an introduction both to the Fathers and to monastic lectio--the reflective reading which gives rise to prayer. It speaks not only to the individual seeker but also to those who guide others along the paths of the spirit.

Above all, it provides an entry into the profound and spiritually stimulating experience of the Fathers of the Church, East and West. It shows the unanimity of faith and constancy of practice common to Christians in an undivided Church.
