This book is a treasure. These homilies are like personalized words of wisdom from Fr. Louf that can serve to keep me grounded in the Cistercian charism. The prudence in these pages transcend culture and ecumenical tradition. Michael C. Voigts, lay Cistercian and author of The Fourth Degree of Prayer
Dom André Louf, OCSO (19292010), became a monk at the Cistercian abbey of Mont-des-Cats, in the northwest of France, in 1947. After being elected abbot in 1963, he continued in that position for almost thirty-five years, earning widespread admiration for his preaching and teaching.
