A booklet by John Main published by the Benedictine Community in Montreal in 1979 (20 pages, cover title) and reissued by the Benedictine Priory of Montreal in 1983 in a 39-page edition with bibliographical references. As its title says, it concerns the monastic tradition of prayer and what it offers people in the modern world, the theme of his work at the Montreal priory.
