Bücher von Matthew Kelty

For almost half a century Trappist monk Matthew Kelty has delivered homilies to monks and retreatants in his unique style. Visitors at his monastery have been inspired, and challenged by his talks, given after Compline each evening, and monks have come to love and appreciate his preaching skills at Mass and in Chapter. In this collection of his homilies we read his reflections on life and death, the mysteries of faith, the monastic life from the inside, and his love of the Mass. Those who have heard Father Matthew speak will welcome this new volume, and those who have not will be introduced to a speaker and writer of exceptional talent.

Chapter Talks

Preached to monks and edited for publication by a pastor, these sermons are applicable generally to any congregation of Christians, for human problems are the same in both church and cloister. The preacher's vivid imagery, his spontaneity and sense of excitement, and his honesty in facing sometimes harsh, unflattering realities make what he says both piercing and unforgettable.

A collection of writings by a monk of Gethsemani. Full of wisdom and flows from a deeply lived vocation.
