Book Notes

Listen with the Heart is a profound, personal invitation to savor the sacred in everyday life. Drawing from her formation as a Benedictine sister, Joan Chittister connects the ancient wisdom of monasticism with the modern world. She reveals that rituals-- those formal patterns of behavior that mark the crossover moments of time and make them sacred-- can awaken the soul. Chittister expresses the belief that through ritual, life is celebrated, mourned, and made real.

This inspiring collection of meditations focuses on the true meaning of blessing, fasting, silence, prayer, music, community, and wisdom. Her insights explore the mystery of death and the power of waiting. Listen with the Heart is an invitation to seek the sacred, appreciate the ups, learn from the downs, and make the mundane meaningful again.
