In a monastery the scriptorium was the special room reserved for writing, copying, or illuminating (decorating) Scripture, recorded information, and manuscripts. In today's time, it is the room where Scripture study, spiritual reading, Lectio, and religious studies are done. As is done here at Our Lady of Little Citeaux, the monastery library is sometimes located in the same room.

Quoting Bishop Thomas J. Gumbleton of the Archdiocese of Detroit:
"This is a book that will leave any reader with great heaviness of spirit. For a bishop to read it is especially difficult and very humbling. But, out of this humbling experience comes a deep conviction that we must and can lead the whole Church into healing and newness of life."
