A Retreat for Lay People E
Ronald A. Knox
Msgr. Knox shapes his collection
around the classic Spiritual
Exercises of St. Ignatius. His opening
topic is “Discouragement
in Retreat,” and he concludes
with a reflection on “Our Lady’s
Serenity.” In between, Knox
addresses the big questions— the
fear of death, the problem of suffering,
the world to come—but he also explores the
little questions that loom large in our daily lives, like
minor trials, liberty of spirit in prayer, and the use of
God’s creatures. These “pieces of eight” are punctuated
by two meditations suitable for a Holy Hour.

The Desert Fathers E
Saint Anthony and the
Beginnings of Monasticism
Peter H. Görg
In the late third century, more
and more people withdrew to
the radical seclusion of the desert
so as to live entirely for God
under the direction of a spiritual
father. Among these “Desert Fathers”
one figure is especially
preeminent: Saint Anthony the
Hermit. This book takes the
reader back to the hour when monasticism was born
and describes the life of those revolutionary Christians
who sought God in the Egyptian desert.
