Reflections of a Humble Heart: A 15th-century text on the spiritual life

“Brother, I have no past....." Thus begins a quiet meditation (introduced by a stunning prophecy from the Monk Basil, who collected the work) on what it means to live as a Christian. No scare tactics, no heavy-handed ism are to be found here, in reflections just as suited to a busy worker in the marketplace as to a desert monk. Everything leads to the words with which the manuscript breaks off: "Thou art eternal God, Holy Spirit, and we -- by Thy love will live for eternity, while all else is but a dream, a river flowing by."
