Sickened by the post-Roman turmoil of 5th Century Italy, Benedict
renounced the world and retired to a life of Christian
contemplation in a cave just west of Rome. Revered for his
sanctity, local monks asked him to become their abbot. But
Benedict's discipline proved too strict - the monks tried to poison
him, and he left to establish many small monasteries, eventually
founding the famous monastery on Monte Cassino and gaining the
title 'Father of Western Monasticism'. This book is the saint's
directions for establishing an orderly and pious monastic
community, covering, among other matters, the community, authority
and obedience, good works, control of speech and thoughts,
humility, contemplation, work, vows and hospitality. Full of
guidance and inspiration, 'The Rule of St Benedict' is for anyone
seeking peace and fulfillment in their life.
