A volume of Words on Obedience
Number XV of Monographic Supplement Series

“[...S]hould a monastic family be found in languor, without doubt it can profit from bringing to remembrance and placing its faith in this great truth: our Lord does not desire easy offerings but whole and martyric ones. Profound, real devotion does not end as soon as we walk across the threshold of a monastery and put on the holy Schema. This is just the beginning, our entrance into the arena of battle. [...]In short, the touchstone of genuine commitment to our Lord and God is obedience, which leads to the great sacrifice—with supreme faith in Christ—, to perfect self-abnegation and self-sacrifice, ‘even unto death, the death of the Cross.’”
—“II: The Heroic and Martyric Element of Obedience”
