Imagine this offer: Personal conversations with someone whose writing you've read and wished you could hear from directly. The ongoing possibility to pursue real reflection on today's important spiritual questions. The opportunity to be led through familiar Scripture passages each month in ways that stretch your thinking, nourish your spirit, and help you form your own opinions on the issues of the age.

This incredible offer is available to you when you subscribe to The Monastic Way, Joan Chittister’s free online monthly publication with daily reflections. Your subscription will automatically renew for free, starting September 2021.

Your subscription also enables you to participate in an ongoing online forum with other members, reflecting together on important spiritual matters in ways that can stretch your thinking and nourish your spirit.
