Fr. William Meninger, OCSO, is one of the leading figures in the centering prayer movement. In this concise and beautifully written exposition, he guides the listener through two of the basic works of inner development by one of the most significant and influential of all Christian mystics, St. John of the Cross (1542-1591). These two texts - The Ascent of Mount Carmel and The Dark Night of the Soul - explore the inner spiritual journey in all its revelations and challenges, its moments of joy, and its moments of profound torment.

For many years, congregations have been inspired, challenged, and charmed by the homilies given by the monks who live at St. Benedict's Monastery - The Magic Monastery - in Snowmass, Colorado. This collection of homilies captures the vitality, wit, and spiritual wisdom of Father William Meninger as he explores the scriptures through the important feast days of the Christian calendar.
