Christ the Vision
Dom Augustin Guillerand
A Carthusian Monk
These short meditations, only written down because Dom Augustin Guillerand found it helpful to commit his thoughts to paper while they were fresh in his mind. The sermons which follow, although delivered as such to the lay-brothers of the Grande Chartreuse, were really meditations made aloud. Those who assisted at these never forgot them, not so much for what they said but for what they revealed of, and in the monk who was the speaker. Deceptively simple yet deeply profound, the simplicity of Dom Augustin's writing hides a deep immersion in the divine mysteries, which, it could be said, formed the constant subject of his meditation. The sermons manifest the slow but penetrating deliberations of the Carthusian at prayer ̶that 'long regard', as Dom Augustin says elsewhere, 'at the eternal truths'. It is this 'long regard' which is the motif which runs through all his writings, all his thought.
Here is an invaluable companion to those who wish to reflect more deeply on the Life of Christ and some great feasts of the Christian Year.

Mary the Mirror
Dom Augustin Guillerand
A Carthusian Monk
This little collection of meditations in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary was never intended as a book. They began life as short Saturday meditations, composed, towards the end of his life by a monk at the Grande Chartreuse in honour of Our Blessed Lady. That monk was Dom Augustin Guillerand, well known to those who are inspired by Carthusian spirituality from his best-selling longer works They Speak by Silences and Where Silence is Praise, both of which have been in print for over sixty years. Deceptively straightforward yet deeply profound, the simplicity of Dom Augustin's meditations hides a deep penetration of the divine mysteries, which, it could be said, formed the constant subject of his meditation.
An invaluable companion to those who wish to follow Mary more deeply in their life of faith.
