Father Thomas Keating was known throughout the world as an
exponent, teacher, and writer on contemplative prayer. A Cistercian
(Trappist) monk of St. Benedict's Monastery, Snowmass, Colorado, he
was a founder of the Centering Prayer Movement and of Contemplative
Outreach. He authored numerous books, particularly of the trilogy
Open Mind, Open Heart; Invitation to Love; and The Mystery of
Christ. Among his books is The Daily Reader for Contemplative
Living, compiled by S. Stephanie Iachetta.
"The author [Father Thomas Keating] has many inspiring things to
say about repentance, fighting the false self, faith, silence,
reverence, and the fundamental goodness of human nature."
-Spirituality & Health magazine
"The writings of Thomas Keating are one of the most profound,
popular, and appropriate introductions to Christian contemplative
prayer and practice today....this book is a beautiful introduction
to both Keating's thinking and his methodologies. I would recommend
it either to a person wanting to begin a prayer practice of to a
person who wants to spend a year reflecting upon the works of
Keating." -Bulletin of Monastic Interreligious Dialogues, October
2004
"Some books, like some people, can be pronounced 'wonderful' after
only a brief encounter; more meetings simply reinforce our initial
judgment. This is that sort of book, an ideal vade mecum for those
who desire to retrieve the wonderfulness so often obscured by the
distracting demands of our ordinary routines, the sheer dailiness
of our daily lives that dulls our spiritual sensitivities. Here
then is a wake-up call we need to 'seize the day' once again by
attending to the promptings within our hearts and allowing the most
gentle of companions to accompany us through it." -George W. Hunt,
S.J., former editor-in-chief of America
