We Die Standing Up

About this book

In this remarkable book of meditations, a renowned Benedictine presents a modern spiritual odyssey, a way in which the Christian pilgrimage on earth is to be lived in order that we find ourselves "on our feet" as we enter eternity. Vigorous and inspiring, a collections of meditations on spiritual life written expressly for the modern reader.-Print ed.
"Thus it looks in the last analysis as if the soul which serves God in spirit and in truth enjoys a very unusual kind of peace: not the satisfying inward rest which we would have expected, nor the outward rest of having everything in order and nothing left out, but a rest which consists in contentment at having sacrificed both to the will of God."- Dom Hubert Van Zeller
