With God alone

In this book, the Benedictine Jean Leclercq (1911-1993) sets out the spirituality of Blessed Paul Giustiniani (1476-1528) and identifies the spiritual and practical foundations of the renewed Camaldolese hermitage that led to the foundation of the "Hermits of Monte Corona" in the first half of the 16th century. Giustiniani combines in a new and original way the elements of hermitism with those of the Cenobitic way of life. Spiritual life in community - renewed in a radical way - shows itself as a practicable form of Christian life. Father Plazidus-Karl Hungerbühler OSB, Muri-Gries, brings the spirituality of a lasting renewal movement of monastic life in the sixteenth century to the German-speaking reader with the edited and expanded edition of the translation of Jean Leclercq's book.
