Walled About With God

The History and Spirituality of Enclosure for Cloistered Nuns

Dom Jean Prou OSB and the Benedictine nuns of the Solesmes Congregation

Translated by Br David Hayes

The enclosure of nuns is a sign of contradiction in today's world. What are the origins of cloistered life? Written by cloistered women, this unique book examines the question from a biblical, historical, spiritual and theological perspective, showing that the roots of enclosure plunge into the very origins of religious life of both men and women in the early Church, and examines forms of enclosure chosen and developed by women themselves.

The Welsh Cistercians
David H. Williams

The Cistercians were a religious order second to none in medieval Europe.  Established in Wales from the first half of the twelfth century, their abbeys played a crucial role in the development of Welsh culture and history as centres of relative security, of learning and literature, of charity and hospitality, and of spiritual and temporal prestige.  The men and women of the Order have left us some of the most splendid architectural and archaeological monuments in the country.

The book closes with a consideration of Cistercians studies over the last century and more, and looks at the re-establishment of the Order in the Principality by the monks of Caldey and nuns of Whitland.

William Wardell
A. G. Evans

Born into lowly circumstances in London's East End in 1823 William Wilkinson Wardell became one of Australia's greatest architects whose crowning works are his two cathedrals, St. Mary’s in Sydney and St. Patrick’s in Melbourne. He also stamped his character and high standard on many of Melbourne's best-loved public buildings. As a contemporary and devoted admirer of Pugin both were converts to the Catholic Faith and shared a deep religious conviction in the superiority of Gothic Architecture for church building.

William Lockhart
Nicholas Schofield

When William Lockhart died in London in 1892, The Tablet declared that perhaps no man, except Cardinal Manning, had so strong a hold on varying classes and masses of men. An outstanding figure, he was received into the church by Fr Gentili, and immediately joined the Institute of Charity. He is remembered for founding two important missions in London; Our Lady and St Joseph, Kingsland and St Etheldreda’s, Ely Place. Alongside his pastoral labours, he encouraged young writers and publishers and helped run several Catholic journals.

Upon this Rock and A Catechism of the Holy Rosary
Edwin Gordon

This book represents the fruits of many years of prayer, work and meditation by Fr Edwin Gordon.  The first part, Upon This Rock - with a foreword by Canon Francis Ripley - provides a catechetical programme of instruction and is fully referenced to the Catechism of the Catholic Church.  It is published together with a series of meditations with Our Lady on the Catholic truths made manifest in the Rosary, including the Luminous Mysteries: A Catechism of the Holy Rosary.

Fr Gordon illustrates how, despite the insecurities of our modern world, in Our lady we have a sure refuge, a spiritual mother, whose divinely ordained role it to lead us to her son.
