Amid the astounding disruptions of normalcy that have unfolded in our world, Sister Joan calls all of us to cultivate the spiritual seeker within, however that may look across our diverse journeys: We can depend only on the depth of the spiritual well in us. The well is the only thing that can save us from the fear of our own frailty.This book carries the weight and wisdom of the monastic spiritual tradition into the twentyfirst century. Sister Joan leans into Saint Benedict, who, as a young man in the sixth century, sought moral integrity in the face of an empire not by conquering or overpowering the empire but by simply living an ordinary life extraordinarily well. This same monastic mindset can help us grow in wisdom, equanimity, and strength of soul as we seek restoration and renewal both at home and in the world.At a time when people around the world are bearing witness to human frailtyand, simultaneously, the endurance of the human spiritThe Monastic Heart invites readers of all walks to welcome this end of certainty and embrace a new beginning of our faith. Without stepping foot in a monastery, we can become, like those before us, a deeper, freer self, a richer souland, as a result, a true monastic, so that in all things God may be glorified.
