Cosmas, or the Love of God Paperback - 2006
by Pierre De Calan; Peter Hebblethwaite (Translator); Introduction by James Martin
First line
Cosmas's first cell was just here.
From the rear cover
It is a fascinating study of a spiritual crisis and of the wisdom and experience of
monastic life. William Rees-Mogg, editor in chief, The Times (of London)
Pierre de Calan s choice of subject is remarkable not only because it is a profound study of
life in a Cistercian monastery, but because he has had no firsthand knowledge as a monk.
Elizabeth Berridge in the (London) Daily Telegraph
Devout, sensitive, young Cosmas believes
that he has a vocation to become a Trappist monk, but the reality of monastic
life disappoints him deeply. Fellow monks are hard to live with. The life of the
monastery seems worldly. He is disheartened by his own shortcomings and
appalled by the weaknesses of others. If he can t live the life, does that mean
God isn t calling him to it? What should he do? Many people single, married,
vowed, ordained ask these same questions. Pierre de Calan explores
them all in this exquisite tale of a man who learns that sanctity does not
mean perfection.
