The Road to Eternal Life: Reflections on the Prologue of Benedict's Rule by Mich

Description: The Road to Eternal Life by Michael Casey, Michael Casey, OCSO Reflections on the Prologue of Benedicts Rule FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In the Prologue of his Rule, St. Benedict maps out the road that leads to heaven; he lays the foundation for life in a community that seeks God. The themes that are present throughout the Rule - obedience, humility, prayer, fear of the Lord, eternal life - are grounded in the Prologue.By reflecting on the Prologue one verse at a time, Michael Casey, OCSO, delves into the richness of meaning that can be found in Benedicts words. These reflections, first given as talks and made available on his communitys web site, build a bridge between the sixth-century text and twenty-first-century Christians. In The Road to Eternal Life, Casey invites readers to reflect on the Prologue in light of their own experiences, to seek the road that leads to salvation. Author Biography Michael Casey, OCSO, has been a monk of Tarrawarra Abbey (Australia) since 1960. In the intervening years he has conducted many retreats and workshops on every continent (except Antarctica) and has written many articles on topics relating to monastic history and spirituality. He is also the author of many books, including The Road to Eternal Life: Reflections on the Prologue of Benedicts Rule and Seventy-Four Tools for Good Living: Reflections on the Fourth Chapter of Benedicts Rule, both from Liturgical Press. Review Recently I asked Brother Patrick Hart of Gethsemani who was the best writer of our times. He said, you mean, after Merton? I said, yes. Who would be the best of my generation?
