This is a book about reflective praying. It invites a person to ask What does it mean to pray? Traditional answers to this question affirm that prayer and praying is talking with God, conversing with God from the heart, a journey of the mind to God, or the ascent of the mind to God. While all of these answers may in fact be true, separating the mind from the heart always remains a possibility. Within the monastic tradition, however, there is a distinct understanding of prayer as a transformative heightening of one’s consciousness; a bringing together of one’s heart and mind. This book, in tradition with the same ancient Christian monastic teaching, offers praying in prose and poetry that can aid us in our spiritual journey. These prayers lead a person through the entire mystery of God from the loving heart of divinity itself into the great expression of that love--the Incarnation--and further into a revelation of the Holy Trinity and one’s integration into divine eternity and blessed happiness. These prayers are tools that can help transform our consciousness. They can wake us up to the marvelous goodness and presence of God, the all-loving and generous. They can evoke a personal transfiguration of our human depths into the very mystery of God in whose image and likeness we have been created.

The Hermit Bird Song Echoes of Heaven on Earth A Hermit Monk of New Clairvaux 9781466442269 Books Reviews
It's not often that one reads a book by a hermit monk. I purchased this book from the book store at the Abbey of New Clairvaux in Vina, California. It is a delightful read for the person who enjoys meditative writings. Reflective prayers and poetry (many in haiku style) are written like a prayer journal with 114 separate readings. The author uses expressive language to highlight the beauty of what it is to live in close relationship with the Divine. The content includes references to many spiritual concepts the Incarnation, the Holy Trinity, the love of God, and what it means to have a heart for God. One of the mysteries that people debate, what it is to talk with God in an interactive voice, is presented in the form of a prayer written directly to God. We are allowed a few glimpses into the monk's thought life. I enjoyed reading these reflections in the evening as a way to end my day on a positive note. It was comforting and a blessing. I am not of the Catholic tradition, but it didn't matter. I enjoyed reading the insights born of a spiritual person who has a close walk with God. The Hermit Monk's perceptions enhanced the book's message. Bits of his life and history are included. He was a theology student at the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky during the time of Thomas Merton's hermitage. If you have read "Seven y Mountain" or other of Merton's writings, you will find this interesting.
