A Life-Giving Way: A Commentary on the Rule of St. Benedict

A Life-Giving Way: A Commentary on the Rule of St. Benedict

Esther De Waal

Liturgical Press
1995
nidottu
Esther de Waal comes to the Rule of St. Benedict as a lay woman who has studied the Rule and striven to live it. Benedict has been for her both supportive and challenging, both guide and prophet. His Rule asks not for blind obedience and conformity but for personal responsibility. While the Rule offers much to those seeking a pattern to the structure of their day-to-day, exterior life, which de Waal's previous commentaries have addressed, this commentary focuses on what Benedict tells us about the interior life. It takes the shape of prayerful reflections on his words of wisdom regarding the disposition of the heart. It leads the reader, as the Rule was meant to lead the novice, to answer the very personal question we must all, as Christians, answer: Am I truly seeking God? Includes a copy of the Rule. Esther de Waal is a well-known author whose interests lie particularly in monastic and Celtic spirituality. Her first book, Seeking God: The Way of St. Benedict (The Liturgical Press), continues to be a bestseller and has-been translated world wide. It was followed by Living with Contradiction: Further Reflections on the Rule and, most recently, A World Made Whole: Rediscovering the Celtic Tradition and A Seven Day Journey with Thomas Merton. She is married with four grown-up sons and lives in the Welsh Borders.

St. Alphonsus writes: "a single bad book will be sufficient to cause the destruction of a monastery." Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947 at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: "There rises to Our lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals ' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters, films, in a world of immodesty " We at St. Pius X Press are calling for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers. This book is a photographic reprint of the original. The original has been inspected and some imperfections may remain. At Saint Pius X Press our goal is to remain faithful to the original in both photographic reproductions and in textual reproductions that are reprinted. Photographic reproductions are given a page by page inspection, whereas textual reproductions are proofread to correct any errors in reproduction.

College of Saint Benedict's (CSB) and Saint John's University (SJU) both have many students of who come from Hong Kong. Hong Kong students are special to CSB-SJU because they are a concentrated population who comes from the same city; many of these students have connections to the universities, whether they have family or friends who are studying at these universities or they know alumni. These students also often return back home after graduation. In this paper I will talk about how these students' education at CSB-SJU, how CSB-SJU goes about recruiting these students, and how the education has impacted their life and their future. Not only will I talk this aspect, but I will also talk about how studying at CSB-SJU has affected the way they view and are viewed by society when they return home. I will first look at how the students education at CSB- SJU has impacted their life and their plan for the future. I will look at how their education helped them with finding a job after graduation, look at how people view them 6 back home because of their experiences in the United States, and other aspects that their time at CSB or SJU has done to impact their future. I will do this though interviews of current students, recently graduated, and older alumni. In addition to interviews, I will look at statistics of job fields Hong Kong graduates end up in, and look at averages of Hong Kong graduates each year. One final aspect I will look at is why students from Hong Kong come to CSB-SJU. I will be able to better understand how CSB-SJU helps better the future of not only Hong Kong students but international students as a whole by learning how CSB-SJU goes about recruiting student from Hong Kong and impacts these students' lives to make them more global citizens.

Nestled in Upstate New York along the banks of the Mohawk River are the many communities of the Mohawk Valley. These villages, towns and cities have unique histories but are inextricably tied together by the waterways that run through them. The mills, railroads and the Erie Canal sustained early growth; the Painted Rocks beautified the landscape; and tales from the local Mohawk Nation still enrich the folklore. Many remarkable individuals have called the Mohawk Valley home, including psychedelic philosopher Benjamin Paul Blood, Queen Libby, the Daiquiris and actor Kirk Douglas. For over a decade, local native Bob Cudmore has documented the interesting, important and unusual stories from the region's past, and he has compiled the best of them here.

What if the Dark Ages weren't really dark after all?You may have learned in world history class that the fall of the Roman Empire led to centuries of violence, ignorance, and barbarism in Europe. But that's not all that happened during that time The period between the fall of the Roman Empire and the High Middle Ages also was characterized by institutional, spiritual, and cultural advancements such as the rise of monasticism with St. Benedict of Nursia and the first encyclopedia by a Christian writer, St. Isidore of Seville.In The Church and the Dark Ages (430-1027), author Phillip Campbell explains that the Dark Ages were not only a period of great political and cultural transition but also an era of great transformation in the Catholic Church. Campbell highlights key personalities of the Dark Ages such as St. Gregory the Great, Charlemagne, King Alfred the Great, St. Patrick, and St. Brigid.You will learn that: Benedictines were responsible for technical and scientific advancements such as the mechanical clock, human flight, and eyeglasses.The Dark Ages was a period of great evangelization throughout Europe.Christianity elevated the status of women, particularly through mutual consent in the Sacrament of Marriage.The Church preserved literacy--and literature--throughout the chaotic centuries of early medieval Europe.Books in the Reclaiming Catholic History series, edited by Mike Aquilina and written by leading authors and historians, bring Church history to life, debunking the myths one era at a time.

The Passion and Miracles of St. Thomas Becket by Benedict of Peterborough

The Passion and Miracles of St. Thomas Becket by Benedict of Peterborough

BOYDELL BREWER LTD
2025
sidottu
The first full English translation of one of the most important sources on Thomas Becket. Benedict of Peterborough's Passion and Miracles of St Thomas Becket puts the reader in Canterbury on the day of one of the most famous murders of all time, when four of King Henry II's knights killed the archbishop inside his cathedral on 29 December 1170. It reveals how a monk thrust into the role of chronicler attempted to understand the earliest cures at Thomas Becket's tomb and the rapid growth of his reputation as a miracle-worker. With its description of Becket's murder and some 275 miracles, all dating to 1171-1173, Benedict's text, which went on to circulate across Europe, is by far our most important source for the beginnings of the cult that would draw hundreds of thousands of medieval pilgrims to Canterbury. This book provides the first full English translation of Benedict's Passion and Miracles from the original Latin. It includes an introduction that assesses the relationship of the Canterbury monks to the archbishop, analyses the story of the murder as told in the Passion, and examines the ways in which Benedict gathered material and constructed the Miracles. The translation is also accompanied by full explanatory notes, while two appendices provide biographical information and a translation of the eighteen stories in the Miracles that are also recounted in a slightly later Canterbury collection. This translation will make Benedict's hugely significant text accessible to a wider audience for the first time. This book is available as Open Access under the Creative Commons license CC BY-NC-ND.
