About this book
St. Francis wrote a short Rule for Hermitages, his Document on Solitude, for “those who wish to stay in solitude” with three or four brothers. It gives the prayer of solitude a specifically Franciscan flavor: it happens in fraternity, done with others.
Since 1980 André Cirino, OFM, and Josef Raischl, OFS, have led pilgrims and students into experiences of Franciscan solitude, in Assisi, at the Little Portion Retreat House and at the Franciscan International Study Centre in Canterbury. This anthology gathers what they and their companions have learned.
With an introduction by William J. Short, OFM, and chapters by Frances Teresa Downing, OSC, on St. Clare and the Document on Solitude, Murray Bodo, OFM, on going into the silence, and friars, Poor Clares, Franciscan sisters and Secular Franciscans on hermitages, a day of solitude, a deliberate life, solitude groups and the mountain mysticism of walking and climbing.
Dedicated to Sr. Margaret Carney, OSF.
