A Monk of New Clairvaux

200 Homilies A Monk of New Clairvaux

After I completed the book: "Don't You Belong To Me?" I considered it my last and only book. Then came the household computer. Through the invitations of our monastic librarian, I got addicted. What followed was a book of short meditations and poems, called "The Hermit Bird's Song" and 4 small booklets on spiritual themes: Death and its Happy Outcome; Three Divine Mysteries; Thoughts to Thrill; and Revelation: Two Views, the Scenic View and the Shortcut View. Bursting out with a homily once or twice a week is similar to keeping a spiritual journal. It enables one's driving forces of life to keep spouting up like gushers. It also helps to keep the homilies short, spunky, and to the point. I find the process easy, and an almost automatic way of writing a book.
