Saint Benedict's Monastery

Mary Reuter, OSB, recalls how as a child taking piano lessons she often skipped practicing scales and thought her teacher would not nocie. Reuter admits she never did advance to the level of a skilled pianist. But in "Running with Expanding Heart," readers will discover htat she is well practiced, and thus skilled, in paying attention tot he extraoridnary in the ordinary, in discovering the presence of God in the events of daily life.

Through Mary Reuter’s poignant and humorous stories, and through her careful
listening to Scripture and the Rule of Benedict, readers will take up the practice of
looking for God in unexpected places—and in doing so they will find their hearts
expanding with the unconditional and all-embracing love of God.
