"This brilliant book [is] of the greatest pertinence to our own time of rising violence. I recommend it without reservation."
——Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe, OP
✝️💟☪️
In March 1996, during Algeria's brutal civil war, seven French Cistercian monks were kidnapped from their monastery in the small village of Tibhirine and subsequently murdered. The monks' decision to stay in a situation of increasing violence arose from their deep understanding of their monastic vocation and their commitment to their Muslim neighbours-from living the two great commandments, love of God and love of neighbour.
Beatified on December 8, 2018, their story of hope and courage is of enduring significance. In an increasingly fragile and dangerous world, the monks' lives and writings offer a prophetic gift to living the Gospel amid difference, and in situations of violence and fracture.
