What better way to prepare for Lent and Easter than to listen to conferences from a monk about prayer? In fact, a Benedictine monk is uniquely qualified to teach this valuable skill, since he spends so many hours a day in prayer.

In early October 2013, Fr. Cassian traveled to St. Benedict's Abbey in Still River, MA to give ten conferences to their monastic community. A common thread through his talks is "praying without ceasing", but we can all learn much from his great wisdom and experience. Treat yourself to these free talks and use them as a way to improve your prayer life this Lent.

I have a cd of these monks singing. I listen to it after my prayer time.

This is insightful. Let us not forget that when Our Lord fasted in the wilderness and was being tempted, He used Scripture to talk back to Satan. So really, this method is not so foreign to us.

Saint John Cassian (c. 360 - 435 AD), John the Ascetic, or John Cassian the Roman (Latin: Joannes Eremita Cassianus, Joannus Cassianus, or Joannes Massiliensis), was a Christian monk and theologian celebrated in both the Western and Eastern Churches for his mystical writings. Cassian is noted for his role in bringing the ideas and practices of Christian monasticism to the early medieval West.

I don't understand his problem with the Orthodox Church that he expresses towards the end, with reference to Gabriel Bunge becoming orthodox. I do understand he is catholic, but a lot of the fathers he is using for this talk come from the Eastern Church (before the Schism, granted), St John Cassian, for example, who although finally settled in the West, came from the East and was highly esteemed at the time as a scholar of the Eastern Church in the West.
