Holy Wisdom is collection of ascetical treaties written by Fr. Austin Baker, a well-known Benedictine mystic and an ascetic writer. These treatises were methodically collected by R.F. Serenus Cressy. Baker advises Christians to live an internal life with God as their guide, describing the process of mortification, by which the ascetic person strengthens the will to overcome the desire for sin.In conclusion, Baker's belief is that the continued practice of holy exercises draws Christians close to God.
