Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The Monastery as School of the Lord's Service - Where Benedict's Rule Becomes Your TeacherHe did not conquer kingdoms. He did not command armies. Benedict of Nursia built something far more enduring - communities of prayer, work, and holy obedience that quietly transformed a fractured world. From a poisoned cup at Vicovaro to the sacred hilltop of Monte Cassino, his life was a series of faithful responses, one at a time, shaped by a Rule so luminous it has guided souls for fifteen centuries.This book walks alongside Benedict with the unhurried warmth of a trusted companion. Whether you are an oblate deepening your commitment, a monastic in formation, a parish reader hungry for ancient wisdom, or simply someone who has felt the quiet pull of Ora et Labora - pray and work - you will find in these pages not a lecture but an invitation. An invitation to enter the school that changed the world, and to discover what it might still teach you.What You Will Discover InsideBenedict the man - his early life, his flight from Rome, his trials at Vicovaro, and the providential path that led him to Monte Cassino, told with narrative warmth and historical groundingFormation for the long road - Benedictine virtues of stability, conversion of life, and obedience explored as living commitments rather than ancient abstractionsAn on-ramp for first-time readers - accessible enough for anyone encountering Benedictine spirituality through wonder rather than obligation, yet substantive enough to reward seasoned oblates and monastics in formationWhy This Book, Why NowWhether your tradition is Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, or simply faithful, whether you are bound by vows or by curiosity alone, Benedict has something to say to you.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Saint Benedict of Nursia was the Catholic founder of Western monasticism and author of the Rule. What does it take to be a father to twelve, or a hundred, very particular men He stood on a hill that no one living had ever consecrated to Christ, looking at a smashed pagan idol and a view of the Liri valley. From those founding days at Monte Cassino, Benedict built a community rooted in the Divine Office and the lifelong vows of stability, conversatio morum, and obedience. He navigated the practical realities of spiritual fatherhood, welcoming refugees and seeing through the disguise of the Gothic king Totila. After decades as a hermit, failed abbot, and shepherd of souls, he distilled his lived experience into the seventy-three chapters of his Rule. The narrative walks beside him through his final winter with his sister Scholastica, leaving the reader at the altar where he died standing with his hands raised in prayer.The foundational law: the institution of the eight daily Hours of the Divine Office as the structural spine of the community.Twelve humble steps: an examination of the longest chapter of the Rule as a mirror of his own lifelong spiritual autobiography.Radical lived hospitality: the daily practice of receiving every displaced noble, hungry farmer, and wandering refugee as Christ himself.One final meeting: the intimate storm that kept him with Scholastica for a last night of holy conversation before her death.Book Two of The Patriarch of the West: A Three-Part Life of Saint Benedict of Nursia. This volume hands over to Listen: What He Left for Every Century, which explores his practical regulations for communal living and his complete vision for an ordered human soul. It builds upon what the previous volume left behind in The God Who Waits in Caves, detailing how a young man departed a fracturing Roman society to pursue divine solitude.Readers seeking a reliable guide to the writing of the Rule, the world around the founding of Monte Cassino, and the practical realities of spiritual fatherhood.…
