Description
This book is an attempt to formulate a lay spirituality according to the spirit of St. Benedict, which means the formation of the "Benedictine virtues" whose perfection is found only in the fullness of Christ. Most of the chapters first appeared in THE OBLATE, a monthly publication edited by the monks of St. John's Abbey for secular oblates. [from the Foreward]
