Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book encompasses writings which offer deep insights into the strict yet deeply compassionate Benedictine monastic rule from medieval times, paired with fascinating records of the more personal aspects of monastic life including rituals for the ordination of nuns. Written centuries ago, the Benedictine rule has provided guidance for countless individuals who chose to live their lives in service of God, and still informs the lives of those who do so today. Crucially, the rule emphasises obedience and respect, encouraging the cultivation of humility, generosity and self-sacrifice among believers. It also speaks to the importance of stability within a monastic community, the maintenance of good order and, significantly, the necessity of compassion and care for the sick and vulnerable. Alongside the Benedictine rule, this book includes two rituals that provide a glimpse into the process by which women were welcomed into the world of nuns and how they were expected to live. These ancient writings provide a unique insight not only into the mechanics of monastic life, but also the spiritual values that underpinned it.
