The Privilege of Love: Camaldolese Benedictine Spirituality is a collection of essays by Camaldolese monks, nuns, and oblates. After an introduction by Michael Downey and an overview chapter on Camaldolese Benedictine history and spirituality, three chapters center on the Benedictine aspects of spirituality, such as liturgy, lectio divina, and Word/Wisdom of God. The book focuses on Camaldolese sources, eremitical/cenobitical dialectic, and solitude, followed by chapters on Camaldolese ecumenical and interreligious involvement, as well as oblate spirituality. The concluding chapter comments on Camaldolese Benedictine spirituality in a post-Vatican II context.

This review is from: The Privilege of Love: Camaldolese Benedictine Spirituality (Paperback)
I can't say enough about the beauty of this book. It is worth double the cost just for the chapters on Liturgy of the Hours and scripture study. There are simple chapters and complicated chapters. This is one book you will keep on your shelf for multiple readings and spiritual lifts over the years.

This review is from: The Privilege of Love: Camaldolese Benedictine Spirituality (Paperback)
This book covers the history of the Camaldolese interpretation of the Rule of St. Benedict and has much to offer the layperson's application of this rule in our secular society. Our culture does not see the importance of solitude and quiet pursuit of God. I found it very helpful.
