Monk's Tale de Edward A. Malloy C. S. C.

Monk's Tale

Autor Edward A. Malloy C. S. C.
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 aug 2009
One of the most respected figures in Catholic higher education, the Reverend Edward A. Malloy has written a thoroughly engaging first installment of his three-volume memoir. This book covers the years from his birth in 1941 to 1975, when he received his doctorate in Christian ethics from Vanderbilt. Written in his trademark self-effacing and humorous style, Malloy's book portrays his childhood growing up in the northeast Washington, D.C., neighborhood of Brookland (the neighborhood's alias was "Little Rome" because of all the Catholic church-related institutions it encompassed). Malloy describes his family and early education, his growing love of sports, and his years at Archbishop Carroll High School where he played on an extraordinarily successful basketball team. The next five chapters chronicle his undergraduate years at Notre Dame, where he was recruited to play basketball, his decision to become a priest, his seminary experience, the taking of final vows, and his graduate school experience at Vanderbilt University.
Monk's Tale is a captivating account of growing up Catholic in the 1940s and '50s, as well as a revealing reflection of the dramatic changes that occurred in the Catholic Church and in American society during the 1960s. This book is also a loving tribute to Malloy's parents, sisters, friends, teachers, religious mentors, and colleagues who helped pave his way to the University of Notre Dame and to his profound commitment to service, leadership, and God.
"The first volume of Monk Malloy's memoir is more than a collection of personal reminiscences of the early decades of his life by a retired Catholic university president. At its heart the volume is also a detailed chronicle of the formation of a son who, from his youth during the second half of the last century, absorbed the religious faith and convictions of his representative middle-class Irish American Catholic family. It is the influence of that faith and cultural heritage throughout his personal and professional formation that grounds Monk's aspirations and achievements as priest, religious, and educator." --Ernest Bartell, C.S.C., Faculty Fellow, Kellogg Institute for International Studies
"One of the greatest blessings in life is the opportunity to touch people's lives. Father Malloy has done that as a player, teacher, priest, and President of the University of Notre Dame . . . and he has done it again in this inspiring and motivating book. Be prepared to laugh. Monk can really spin a tale." --Morgan Wootten, Coach Emeritus, DeMatha High School
"Father Monk gives an insight into his life by sharing success, challenges, and a destiny of response to a call to be a Holy Cross religious-priest. It is a journey of a soul!" --Rev. Thomas E. Chambers, C.S.C., President Emeritus, Our Lady of Holy Cross College, New Orleans

Recenzii

"The chronicle of an eighteen-year presidency that involved multiple visits to the White House, one-on-one conversations with the Holy Father, and visits with heads of state across the globe is inherently interesting, but Father Monk Malloy gives us much more. He casts light upon the complexity of operating a first-class modern university while remaining faithful to its mission as a Catholic university. He also helps us to remember that while all of this is happening, the inflection points that occur during everyone’s life continue: the loss attendant to his mother’s death, the emotional impact of the events of 9/11 and its aftermath, and the devastation felt at the revelations of the clergy abuse scandal." —Carol Ann Mooney, president, Saint Mary's College

 

"They called him Monk, a terrific Notre Dame basketball player, who became a priest, a professor of theology, lived for years in Sorin Hall, and became one of the great presidents of our university. For eighteen years, Father Malloy did it all. He accomplished so much. He made me very proud, and yes, they still call him Monk." —Regis Philbin, television broadcaster (ND '53)

 

"Monk Malloy's third volume of his biography brings to life his leadership journey through a chronicle of the routine and the unexpected, the triumphs and the setbacks, the joys and the disappointments. Following Fr. Hesburgh must be daunting for any successor, but we see Monk coming into his own to forge significant advances for Notre Dame by trusting his own instincts honed by study, tested through experience, cultivated in prayer, and rooted in his abiding loyalty to the Congregation of Holy Cross. Monk's gift to us is the candor with which he describes his navigation: the rationale that governs his thinking, self-reflection that recognizes a better way, and deep gratitude that enables grace to lead the way." —Carolyn Woo, president and CEO, Catholic Relief Services

 

"Monk Malloy chronicles his eighteen-year presidency of the nation’s premier Catholic university much as a sea captain devotes himself to the ship’s log. These pages reveal not only the captain’s acute powers of observation but the inveterate explorer’s wonder and fascination with waters calm or turbulent. It is the latter characteristics—the wonder and fascination—that mark an extraordinary leader." —Reverend Dennis Dease, president emeritus, University of St. Thomas

"Monk's Tale is an account of deeply effective leadership, faith-filled commitment to service of the Church and the academy, and thoughtful reflections on Christian ministry and the human condition. Monk's straightforward and unassuming narrative style shows the personal qualities that students, colleagues, and members of the Congregation of Holy Cross have treasured for years—his wide-ranging intellect and interests, his humility, his wry sense of humor, and his amazing stamina for multiple activities and remarkable accomplishments.  The book is a powerful testimony to God's grace in the life of a priest, professor, and president who has left an impressive mark on Catholic higher education." —Rev. Mark L. Poorman, C.S.C., president, University of Portland

"The final installment of Father Malloy’s three-volume memoir examines his leadership at Notre Dame following the long-term presidency of Father Theodore Hesburgh, CSC. 'I’ve tried to be truthful without being hurtful,' Monk says, as he details the rigors of overseeing a university, from meetings with various constituencies, journeys both domestic and international, fundraising, teaching and dealing with controversial issues." — Notre Dame Magazine

“One of the most respected figures in Catholic higher education, the Reverend Edward A. Malloy has written the final installment of his three-volume memoir . . . In this lively and candid account, Malloy, or ‘Monk’ to all who know him, shares she reflections on his presidency in eighteen chapters, one for each year of his presidency. . .This is a must read for everyone interested in Notre Dame or the Congregation of Holy Cross.”  —Holy Cross USA

Extras

"As a public figure, I have had to choose carefully what to include and what to exclude in this volume on my Notre Dame presidency. I’ve tried to be truthful without being hurtful. I’m well aware that, in a large, complex institution, there can be (and are) multiple interpretations of the events I have described. In the end, I hope that my love for Notre Dame and its people comes through clearly, along with my overwhelming sense of gratitude for having been given the opportunity to lead this great university for eighteen years. I believe that the future for Notre Dame is bright and promising. All of us, indeed, stand on the shoulders of giants." —from Monk's Tale: The Presidential Years, 1987–2005 by Edward A. Malloy, C.S.C.
