Lent & Easter Wisdom from St Benedict

For over 1,500 years, believers from all Christian traditions have looked to St. Benedict, the patriarch of Western monasticism, for spiritual wisdom. His rule has shown how one may experience a simple, holy, and common sense life, despite the increasingly busy pace of our daily existence, and is still in use by many.

The latest addition to Liguori's popular series of seasonal meditation books pairs Scripture readings with a daily selection from the cherished writings of St. Benedict. This book encourages the reader to set aside time each day to reflect upon a specific Scripture passage and suggests an activity for Christian living during the Lenten season.

By focusing on Christ's ultimate sacrifice for our salvation, we can renew and expand our attempts to make our own lives model his and be other-centered. And like St. Benedict, we can come to know God's spirit through the habit of prayer and meditation.
