Humble Pie: St. Benedicts Ladder of Humility
Contents:
And in this upside-down Benedictine world, we reach humility not by descending to the depths but by climbing, joyfully, to the top of a ladder.
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. Bonomo, with a light hand and a sense of humor, takes readers along on her down-to-earth spiritual adventure. Read more Read less. Countdown to Christmas Sale.

Though she is deeply immersed in the Benedictine lifestyle and thoroughly admiring of the Order, Bonomo is also critical of anything about the Order that does not ring true to her. Soon, through regular retreats at the abbey and close association with the monks there, she begins to find the stability that she has craved for so long.

Humble Pie : St. Benedict's Ladder of Humility by Carol Bonomo (2004, Paperback)
This concept of a twelve-rung ladder juxtaposes Benedictine characteristics against the celebrations and ceremonies of the liturgical year. For instance, obedience, the first rung of the ladder, coincides with Advent, while constancy, the final rung, is observed particularly during the feast of All Saints. Bonomo looks carefully at the concept of humility as it applies to the Benedictines, how humility is lacking in so many areas of today's world, and how practicing it leads modern Christians to a deeper and more fulfilling spiritual life.
