THE RULE OF ST BENEDICT [PAPERBACK]Saint Benedict's Rule has endured for 1500 years as a living code and guiding light not only for monks, but also for the laity. A full explanation here is not possible, but you will see, on nearly every page, how to bring the monastic spirit into the home in important ways. Benedict's instructions to Abbots on how to deal with different types of monks is perfectly applicable to how a Father must handle different types of children. He even warns about those monks who will try to play the Prior off against the Abbot (any Mother and Father can see what's going on there!). No rectory, no religious house, and no Catholic family, should be without a copy of this seminal work. Steps on the path to perfection: 72 good works that show our love for God, 12 steps of humility, How to show proper reverence in the presence of God, How the Divine Office ought to be said, Prayer - why shorter is better, On reading, On eating and drinking, Observing Lent, Why daily manual labor is good for the soul, etc. 111pp. Paperback.
