As Our Fathers Told Us

Arts & Literature

“This small collection of poems is a distillation of a lifelong search for the deeper meaning in the mundane. Brother Placidus does not regard the spiritual as disjointed and external to the material, but rather as an intrinsic component of God’s creation. As we depart from the wisdom of our fathers, reality looks bleak and hopeless. And yet, through the eyes of a ‘secular monk,’ God is truly present everywhere. These poems are an invitation to encounter God, here and now.”
