Yoga and the Jesus Prayer Tradition

Paulist Pr

In this book, Thomas Matus tells the true story of one woman's struggle to live her extraordinary vocation to a life of total silence, solitude and hiddenness. A gifted musician and ordinary Sunday Catholic, Nazarena, nee Julia Crotta, had a vision of Jesus calling her to the desert while in college in Connecticut. After much searching and numerous attempts to have her unique vocation recognized by the church, she eventually found her "desert" in a small room at the monastery of the Camaldolese Benedictine nuns in Rome. She lived there as an anchoress for forty-five years until her death in 1990. Radical yet traditional, exceptional yet simple, Sister Nazarena had a long and spiritually fruitful ascetic life. Nazarena, an American Anchoress uses excerpts from her own letters of spiritual counseling and material taken from interviews with those who knew her to tell the remarkable story of her life of silence and prayer.

Since Saint Romuald founded the great monastery of Camaldoli in Tuscany, a thousand years ago, it has enjoyed an uninterrupted life under the Beneditine Rule. The quest for Romuald's spirituality takes up the first part of this book. The second part turns to the High Middle Ages and to the carefully annotated story of The Five Brothers, followers of Romuald. Their story is an important part of Polish history. The final part of this book is an English translation of the life of Saint Romuald originally written by Saint Peter Damian. As a whole the book presents elements of monasticism fundamental to our appreciation of modern Western Spirituality.
