Beschreibungen

In these pages Bernardo Olivera helps us to discern and recognize how the devil can act in our life and what kind of influence he can have. What is the relationship between Satan and the spiritual combat implied in our own journey to union with God? This book brings together the advice of the principal spiritual masters who have treated the subject with the realism that comes from their own experience of the devil's worst temptations, such as the laziness, bitterness and indifference that comes from the vice of acedia. The call is not to fight Satan directly, but to persevere in the humility and patience of Christ.

SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY
Bernardo Olivera was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1943. When he was 19 he left university studies and entered the Trappist Monastery near Azul, in the province of Buenos Aires, where he made profession and was ordained a priest nine years later. He was first made Novice Director and Prior, while simultaneously founding a contemplative movement for laypersons, called "Soledad Mariana", with the Virgin Mary as its model. In 1984, he was elected as the monastery's first abbot and less than seven years later was chosen as the first non-European Abbot General of the Trappist Order, which he was until 2018. After returning to Azul he was reelected as the community's abbot until his resignation at the age of 75.
