Letters of Richard Meux Benson, Student of Christ Church: Founder and First Superior of the Society of S. John the Evangelist, Cowley (Classic Reprint) by Richard Meux Benson (Paperback / softback, 2016)
Excerpt from Letters of Richard Meux Benson, Student of Christ Church: Founder and First Superior of the Society of S. John the Evangelist, Cowley This selection from such of Father Benson's letters as have come into our hands is made in the hope of handing on to ather generation some reflection of the influence which he exercised upon our own. No Life of him is likely to be written. The few who survive among the companions of his earlier years kw how completely his real life was hid with Christ in God. Even those who lived under the same roof with him knew but a part. When he returned to the Mission House after some work or distant journey, we never expected to hear him speak to us of anything that had happened while away, whether of failure or success. All that we knew was that, as he had gone out to each work armed with prayer and self-discipline, so on his return he reverently left with God in silent prayer and thanksgiving the results of the work.
