Book Synopsis Saint Benedict for Boomers by : Christine M. Fletcher
Download or read book Saint Benedict for Boomers written by Christine M. Fletcher and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Benedict for Boomers is based on the idea that no one can retire from being a Christian; we are to love God and our neighbor throughout our life. And it recognizes that aging presents us with change, loss, and death, as well as new growth and opportunities for deep gladness and peace. The Christian vocation is valid when we are healthy and strong and when we are weak and sick. Taking Saint Benedict of Nursia as a guide, Christine Fletcher insists that those in the autumn of their lives still have much to contribute to society and to those around them, even when they are ill and dependent. Benedict's wisdom is perennial, and it remains helpful to those who negotiate new challenges in living well, preserving bodily health, discerning purpose in new stages of living, deepening faith, and ultimately, facing sickness and death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founder of a monastery at Monte Cassino, between Rome and Naples, in the sixth century, St Benedict intended his Rule to be a practical guide to Christian monastic life. Based on the key precepts of humility, obedience and love, its aim is to create a harmonious and efficient religious community in which individuals can make progress in the Christian virtues and gain eternal life. Here, Benedict sets out ideal monastery routines and regulations, from the qualities of a good abbot, the twelve steps to humility and the value of silence to such every day matters as kitchen duties, care of the sick and the suitable punishment for lateness at mealtimes. Benedict’s legacy is still strong – his Rule remains a source of inspiration and a key work in the history of the Christian church (from Amazon).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benedict of Nursia (c. 480-543), born into a wealthy family, renounced his life of privilege to live an eremitic life of extreme asceticism. He founded and was the first abbot of the monastic community of Monte Cassino, where he wrote the Rule, acknowledged as a masterpiece. Modestly referring to the work that would chart the course of Western monasticism as "a little rule for beginners," in a prologue and seventy-three brief, intensely focused, and sympathetically written chapters, Benedict prescribed for his monks a monastic life in community that is essentially the Christian life of the gospel based upon mutual support, obedience, hospitality, tolerance, and moderation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timeless source of wisdom for people looking to lead a life of simplicity, purpose, and serenity The Rule of St. Benedict has governed monastic communities for centuries, but it is far more than a standard religious text. The Rule is, above all, a handbook for living a deliberate life—no matter your religious background or beliefs. It teaches the importance of contemplation and silence, of solitude, and the power of community and unity. With lessons focusing on the simple acts of everyday life, like eating and daily work, along with wisdom for the deeply personal and internal facets of living, such as cultivating humility and practicing forgiveness, The Rule of St. Benedict is a profound guide to living a good and meaningful life. An award-winning translator, Philip Freeman’s version of The Rule is beautifully accessible in its language. With a simple and direct style, the book lays out a way of living that is transformative in its simplicity and striking in its power.

Book Synopsis The Rule of Saint Benedict by : Benedict of Nursia
Download or read book The Rule of Saint Benedict written by Benedict of Nursia and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2022-01-21 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rule of Saint Benedict is a book of instructions written in 516 by Benedict of Nursia (c. AD 480–550) for the groups of monks living in the individual communities under the supervision of abbots. In the book, St. Benedict opens the principles of the Christian life in a community. The main principle is obedience and the rule of "ora et labora," that is, "pray and work." The primary weapon to strengthen the Christian faith is obedience to the Lord's will. To achieve this, the author offers to establish the "school for the Lord's service," which will teach people the way to salvation. In 73 chapters of the book, Benedict gives detailed instructions on how to regulate the life of a monk in monasteries and alone. Some chapters consider the organizational sides of monastery life, such as assigning deans and summiting official meetings. Other give instruction on how to practice life in faith and grow spiritually. Generally, the book doesn't call upon the formation of any monastic order. It is rather a manual for different independent Christian communities, small groups of two or three people or single wandering monks, guiding them in everyday decisions and helping to organize their lives spiritually.

Book Synopsis Conversation with Saint Benedict by : Terrence Kardong
Download or read book Conversation with Saint Benedict written by Terrence Kardong and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Conversations with Saint Benedict, renowned Benedictine scholar Terrence Kardong considers the interface between the Rule of Benedict and contemporary culture. In several of the chapters, Kardong considers several aspects of modern culture that he considers worrisome, and he tries to look at them in the light of the Rule. In other chapters, he takes up specific aspects of the Rule itself that he finds difficult to deal with. The book, then, is a kind of dialectic, which does not shrink from criticizing both our culture and Benedict's own ideas.
