From the Back Cover
[Category: Spiritual Reading]
Our world badly needs Christ's light and peace. One way to bring these blessings to one another is to attend to our own hearts and to learn to live well.
Living Lent well involves turning back to God to receive his blessing. In this deep and practical book, a guide for Lent and the rest of the year, Sr Laurentia distils the sixth-century Rule of St Benedict as a series of blessings. Closely based on Scripture, the Rule highlights that the whole of life has a Lenten character and points to a joyful eternity.
This accessible guide also includes ideas for reflection and action at the end of each chapter.
'The Way of Benedict points us towards listening, gratitude and balance in our lives.'
Linda Jones, Head of Theology, CAFOD
'This beautiful book introduces us to the Benedictine Rule as a wise way to live.'

'Readers who journey with The Way of Benedict might well discover . . . a livelier desire for resurrection.'
Mother Johanna Marie Melnyk OSB, Prioress, Holy Angels Convent, Jonesboro, Arkansas, USA
'This is a Lent book that will be read for its joyfulness the whole year round.'
The Very Revd Dr Frances Ward, writer and theologian

The Way of Benedict: Eight Blessings for Lent
Seller: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. The Rule of St Benedict, written for monks in the sixth century, continues to hold an extraordinary appeal to people in our day. It offers a balanced approach to seeking God and integrating prayer, work and relationships in a way that is more essential than ever in our stress-riven society. For St Benedict, the whole of life has a Lenten character, that is, it should be driven by the power of Easter which permeates every aspect of the day with the transforming power of Christ's resurrection.The book aims to help readers engage directly with The Rule of St Benedict. The essential argument is that the Rule offers a way of accessing the transforming power of grace by following the Gospel in everyday life, and so is potentially a blessing for every Christian. While the centrality of Easter in the Rule makes the book ideal as a Lent book, it also means that The Way of Benedict can serve as a guide to the wisdom of the Rule throughout the year. While not a commentary on the Rule, the book follows the shape of the Rule in the belief that this is integral to St Benedict's vision of holistic living. Seller Inventory # LU-9780281075812
