Musings

Internet readers of the Daily Reflections with Fr. Don Talafous have long urged the author to publish selections in book form. Here is such a collection offering hope and encouragement in the face of the sadness and suffering of our world. While they come from the mind, heart, and PC of a Catholic Benedictine, the topics of these reflections appeal to church-going Christians, readers of a skeptical bent, and even those of no or minimal relation to any organized religion.

Don Talafous, OSB, (1926-2025), a Benedictine monk and priest of Saint John's Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota, served as a faculty resident, alumni chaplain, and theology professor for more than forty years at Saint John's University in Collegeville. He published several books with Liturgical Press including three volumes of Homilies for Weekdays and Musings: A Benedictine on Christian Life.
