OTHER CARMELITE SAINTS AND THEMES
Sounding Solitude
By Sr. Mary Paul Cutri, O.C.D.
Solitude is not foreign to anyone. It is a universal reality that permeates all
our experiences. But why write a book about it? One answer: God. God is the One
we seek in solitude. Solitude, which is a listening to God, a being with God, an
attentiveness to God’s word and wisdom, and a being-in-love with God, is worth
the journey into it. Persons who enter into solitude and taste its fruits
will no longer see as they saw before. Solitude offers another way of seeing.
When we are open to discover and to receive, the mystery of solitude purifies
the sight, the seeing, the beholding of each person. When solitude brings us to
God, God brings us into new vision. This book is directed to all who seek God
and who long to “see” God and to know God’s ways more truly.

More Information
This book is for those who are so eager to be transformed in Christ that they
are willing to wade into the waters of solitude. This book invites you to an
exploration that begins with the desires to pray: to pray because the hunger for
God pursues you; to pray because you believe the value of prayer. Solitude is a
milieu of prayer: it beckons us to seek God. Prayer will lead you into the
solitude God wants for you. Prayer opens the door to a solitude which will open
you to God. Once you read this book, solitude will not be a solitude of
emptiness; love will be near.
