Advent And Christmas Wisdom From Saint Benedict

For over 1,500 years believers from all Christian traditions have looked to St. Benedict, the patriarch of Western monasticism, for spiritual wisdom. And rightly so: His Rule shows us how we can experience a simple, holy, commonsense life despite the increasingly busy pace of our modern existence.

This addition to Liguori’s popular series of seasonal meditation books interweaves selections from the cherished writings of St. Benedict with Scripture readings for the seasons of Advent and Christmas. Daily periods of sacred reading (lectio divina) foster contemplation and reflection on Scripture, allowing its wisdom to speak to your heart and promoting deeper knowledge of and communion with God. Each day closes with a prayer and a suggestion for personal action as the essential outgrowth of a relationship with the Word of God.

Inspirational, accessible, direct, and practical, St. Benedict will guide your journey through the Advent and Christmas seasons in an uplifting, spiritually refreshing way.
