André Louf, OCSO (born 1929 in Leuven, Belgium; died 2010 in France) was a Belgian Cistercian monk, theologian, lecturer, author, and translator.[1]
Biography
Louf attended the Pontifical Biblical Institute and Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. He entered the Cistercian Abbey of Mont-des-Cats, Berthen, France, in 1947, making his monastic profession in 1949 and solemn profession in 1954. On January 10, 1963, he was elected abbot of the monastery, a position he held for thirty-five years until he retired in 1997, when he became a hermit in Simiane-Collongue. In 2010, he died at Mont-des-Cats, where he is buried.
Writing
Louf was general editor of the highly regarded theological series, "Collectanea Cisterciensia" and author of numerous books published mainly by Cistercian Publications.[2] His writing brings together spiritual experience both from his life of prayer and his experience as part of a monastic community.
Louf has translated many works into French, including the works of Isaac the Syrian.

- The Cistercian Way (1983)
- Tuning in to Grace (1992)
