Synopsis

“Hearken, O my son, to the precepts of your Master, and incline the ear of your heart... renounce your own will, and take up the strong and bright weapons of obedience, in order to fight for the Lord Christ, our true King.” — From the Prologue of the Rule of St. Benedict

The Rule of Saint Benedict is not a mere historical document nor an abstract treatise; it is an eminently practical guide for anyone seeking to structure his life according to a holy rule and a clear direction. Originally written in the sixth century and deeply rooted in monastic life, in this work the reader will find the essential foundations for cultivating humility, obedience, self-mastery, and moderation, as well as for strengthening his spiritual life.

This edition has been conceived as a devotional for men seeking to draw upon the traditional wisdom and disciplines of Christian monasticism, with the purpose of strengthening their character and spirituality, and thus resisting the onslaughts of modernity.

What You Will Find in This Edition:

• The Complete Text of the Rule: Presented in the celebrated classic translation by Dom Oswald Hunter Blair —Benedictine Abbot— and arranged in traditional daily reading cycles to maintain a constant, stable meditation throughout the entire year.
• The Life of Our Holy Father Saint Benedict: The classic narrative written by Pope Saint Gregory the Great, illustrating the saint’s virtues, discipline, and miracles in action.
• 100 Benedictine Maxims for Spiritual Warfare: A carefully chosen selection of key passages extracted directly from the Rule. Accompanied by quotes from great saints and verses from Holy Scripture, these maxims become a magnificent tool for spiritual combat.
• Traditional and Benedictine Prayers: A compilation of traditional prayers as well as the principal historic Benedictine prayers, all presented in Latin and English.
