Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Contemplative Prayer Ven, Father Augustine Baker's Teaching Thereon: From Sancta Sophia
More than twenty years rolled by, and the fruit of Father Baker's teaching became apparent. There was a marked advance made among the members of the Congregation in the observance of all regular duties - of solitude, humility, obedience, and devotion - especially in the Benedictine nunnery at Cambray. Moreover, many among the secular clergy in England, and not a few among the devout laity, both men and women, made use of Father Baker's treatises 'to the wonderful profit of their souls.' Judged, therefore, by their fruits, it was clear that the writings of Father Baker were of a high order, and exceedingly profitable to souls. But the treatises were lengthy and numerous and scattered, and to get full value from them it was felt that they should be brought together, co-ordinated, and abridged into one handy volume.
