Maria Boulding was Benedictine Monk of the Enclosed Stanbrook Abbey Community in Yorkshire. She was a considerable scholar, particularly of liturgy and of St Augustine. In the last months of your life, she wrote the remarkable book recounting her experience of the risen Christ, as she endured painful terminal illness. Drawing heavily on St Benedict and St Augustine, she writes with profound understanding of how in later years she returned to fundamental Christian beliefs and experienced them to be true.
