Spiritual Directors International Learns from Brother David Steindl-Rast, OSB, #2

Spiritual Directors International learns from Brother David Steindl Rast, OSB, who has devoted his life to peace and justice through the ministry of cultivating gratefulness and understanding among spiritual traditions. Originally from Austria, he has published many books including Gratefulness: the Heart of Prayer and his most recent, Deeper Than Words: Living the Apostles' Creed. He co-founded the Center for Spiritual Studies in 1968, and received the 1975 Martin Buber Award for his achievements in building bridges among religious traditions. Together with Thomas Merton, Brother David helped launch a renewal of religious life. From 1970 on, he became a leading figure in the international House of Prayer movement. Currently his attention is focused on teaching gratefulness through gratefulness.org.

Thank you so much. I have admired this wonderful monk for many years now and had the privilege of hearing him speak back in the 70s. It's a delight to find him now on YouTube!
