The Roman Catholic Monastery of the Holy Cross was founded in 1989 and became a Benedictine house of the Subiaco Congregation in 2000. We follow a traditional contemplative life, chanting Psalms seven times a day and singing Gregorian chant at the Eucharist. We do this in a distinctive way by living our monastic life on the South Side of Chicago. Prior Peter, the author of this blog, was appointed Prior in August of 2004.

Monastic Pilgrimage by Guy-Marie Oury

November-December

We have twice read with enthusiasm another book by Abbot Guy-Marie, written while he was the Abbot President of the Subiaco Congregation. The present book is a series of retreats given at one of our sisters' houses in Petersham, Mass. The reflections follow the opening chapters and the closing chapters of the Rule, and read them in a creative manner, perhaps more 'pious' than the average Catholic would find helpful today. A solid book, but we preferred Letter to My Brothers.


Brothers' rating: 3 out of 5
