Summary
A timeless spiritual classic on the art of uncovering the true self and mastering the undisciplined soul.
Written by Father Basil William Maturin, a renowned preacher and spiritual director who perished heroically on the RMS Lusitania, this profound treatise serves as a gentle yet unsparing guide to inner transformation. Maturin addresses the foundational struggle of the Christian life: how to truly understand one’s own character in order to direct it toward spiritual growth.
Rather than viewing discipline as a harsh suppression of human nature, Maturin presents it as the redemption and proper ordering of our natural faculties. Through acute psychological insight, he demonstrates how unexamined motives and blind spots distort human behavior, revealing that genuine self-control can only flourish where authentic self-knowledge has paved the way.
Maturin delves deeply into the practical mechanics of repentance, the training of the will, and the sanctification of our natural passions. His guidance bridges the gap between deep Catholic ascetical tradition and a compassionate, nuanced understanding of human weakness, offering encouragement instead of despair.
Clear, penetrating, and steeped in eternal wisdom, Self-Knowledge and Self-Discipline remains an indispensable companion for seekers, spiritual directors, and anyone earnest about shedding illusion in pursuit of holiness and peace.
