Humility Matters for Practicing the Spiritual Life - Funk, Mary Margaret. Continuum, 2005. 188p. $21.95, hardcover. ISBN: 978-0-8264-1728-2. continuumbooks.com. 241'.4 Humility-Religious aspects-Catholic Church. Spiritual life-Catholic Church.

This third volume of a trilogy introduces humility using the teachings of St. Benedict. Sister Mary Margaret Funk, O.S.B., believes that humility is the core of our experience with Jesus. Humility is shown as the Christian's purity at heart-the light that others see.

Funk is the director of the School of Lectio Divina at Benedict Inn in Beech Grove, Indiana, and has served as executive director of Monastic Interreligious Dialogue. This is a good book for anyone who would like to learn more about the meaning of humility and how it works for Christians. This would make a good supplement to a church library's works on spiritual practice.
