"Prayer is not the luxury of the few, but the duty-and joy-of us all." A Retreat for Lay People has become one of Ronald Knox's most beloved works. With clarity, wit, and pastoral warmth, Knox leads readers step by step through the essentials of the spiritual life-prayer, meditation, overcoming temptation, grace, and the sacraments-showing how the timeless rhythm of a retreat can be lived out in ordinary Catholic life. His meditations are practical, encouraging, and deeply human, written for those who seek to pray better and live more faithfully in the midst of daily responsibilities.

Autorenporträt
Ronald Arbuthnott Knox (1888-1957) was one of the most gifted Catholic writers of twentieth-century England. Educated at Eton and Oxford, he was ordained an Anglican clergyman before entering the Catholic Church in 1917 and becoming a priest in 1919. As Oxford chaplain, preacher, translator, and essayist, Knox combined scholarship with wit and devotion. His works include The Belief of Catholics, The Mass in Slow Motion, Essays in Satire, and his celebrated translation of the Vulgate, the Knox Bible.
