LISTEN MY SON: ST BENEDICT FOR FATHERSSt. Benedict's vision of the monastery as a Christian family means his practical spirituality is supremely applicable to the basic religious community - the family. "Listen My Son" includes the whole Rule of St Benedict broken down into daily readings. There is a commentary for each day’s reading applying Benedict’s practical wisdom to the joys, stresses and trials of modern family life. Addressed mainly to fathers but it can be used as a daily reader for mothers too. Fr. Longenecker -- a Catholic convert from Anglicanism, who is now a married Catholic priest with four children as well as a Benedictine Oblate -- wrote the book from his own experience of trying to live out the Benedictine rule as a layman, husband, and father. An excellent devotional and study resource for all Christians. Price: $18.00 |
