Description
Meister Eckhart (1260-1328) was a priest, a mystic, and nearly a heretic (he died before the Church court's verdict). In the 20th century, the Roman Catholic Church rehabilitated him and the late Pope John Paul II spoke of his work with fondness.

Our home and our duties can, just like a monastery, teach us those things. The vocation of monastic men and women is to physically withdraw from the world.
