Carol BonomoPaperback 2004-03-01
Publisher Description
In this honest, funny, touching book, Carol Bonomo, a Benedictine oblate - a layperson vowed to live according to the fourth-century Rule - reconciles the conflict between the world's call and Benedict's more gentle admonition as she examines the twelve rungs on Benedict's ladder of humility against the backdrop of the liturgical year. From the first rung, obedience, during Advent, to the twelfth, constancy, during the feast of All Saints, Bonomo studies what it means for a contemporary Christian to climb the ladder of humility that leads to perfect, fearless love.
