In the Prologue of his Rule, St. Benedict maps out the road that
leads to heaven; he lays the foundation for life in a community
that seeks God. The themes that are present throughout the Rule -
obedience, humility, prayer, fear of the Lord, eternal life - are
grounded in the Prologue.
By reflecting on the Prologue one verse at a time, Michael
Casey, OCSO, delves into the richness of meaning that can be found
in Benedict's words. These reflections, first given as talks and
made available on his community's web site, build a bridge between
the sixth-century text and twenty-first-century Christians. In "The
Road to Eternal Life," Casey invites readers to reflect on the
Prologue in light of their own experiences, to seek the road that
leads to salvation."
"Michael Casey, OCSO, has been a monk of Tarrawarra Abbey
(Australia) since 1960. After completing a degree in Scripture at
Leuven, he received his doctorate from Melbourne College of
Divinity for a study of desire for God in the writings of Bernard
of Clairvaux. For the past decades he has been engaged in exploring
different aspects of monastic spirituality, writing, and giving
conferences throughout the English-speaking monastic world. His
books include "Strangers to the City "(Paraclete Press, 2005), " A
Guide to Living in the Truth" (Liguori, 2001), and "Sacred Reading"
(Liguori, 1996).""
