In this wonderful work of English Catholic spirituality, the Venerable Father Augustine Baker, a Benedictine monk writing in the seventeenth century, offers a path of recollection, self-denial, and pure prayer for those called to the interior life. Holy Wisdom gathers his teaching into three clear and uncompromising treatises: on the spiritual life, on mortification, and on prayer. With great clarity and sobriety, Baker directs the soul away from noise, agitation, and excessive devotions, toward a hidden life formed by humility, silence, and love. His guidance reflects the wisdom of the Desert Fathers, the mysticism of Dionysius, and the precision of the scholastic tradition, yet it breathes with the lived experience of monastic simplicity.
This newly restored edition, carefully prepared for the modern reader, presents Baker’s doctrine without distortion or embellishment. It offers the serious Catholic a trustworthy companion in the pursuit of divine union, and a beacon for all who seek rest in the stillness of God.
