The Rule of St. Benedict (1975)

Description: Since its introduction in the sixth century, "The Rule of St. Benedict" has shaped the spiritual and communal lives of Christian monastic communities throughout Western civilization. Originally written to guide the monks at Monte Cassino, St. Benedict’s Rule has become the foundation for countless Christian orders, outlining a path to spiritual life through work, prayer, study, obedience, community, and measured asceticism. This edition presents a clear, modern translation that remains faithful to the intent and wisdom of the original text. It includes an insightful introduction that examines the origins of Christian monasticism, a biography of St. Benedict, and an analysis of the Rule’s structure and lasting influence on religious communities and Western culture. Simple yet profound in its spiritual directives, "The Rule of St. Benedict" serves as an enduring guide not just for monastics, but for all Christians pursuing salvation and sanctification.
