Around 1150, Guido, a Carthusian monk, wrote a book entitled "The Monks' Ladder," where "he set out the theory of the four rungs: reading, meditation, prayer and contemplation," according to the Pope. "This is the ladder by which the monks ascend from earth to heaven."

You've got it all right here in the Religion Forum. If you are not yet subscribed to Salvation's 'Daily Mass Readings', now's your chance to do so. Simply send a freepmail to Salvation and you can be assured of not only reading the Daily Scriptures but also reflections on them. By so doing, you will have read the entire Bible in the span of only 3 years!

Pope Benedict's interaction with the eastern churches while head of CDF is really becoming apparent. Y'know, I wouldn't be surprised if he recommended praying the Chotki next.
