Commentary on the Rule of Saint Benedict Paperback / softback

Part of the Cistercian Studies Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

A ninth-century monk of Saint Mihiel near Verdun, Smaragdus composed his Commentary after the 816 Council of Aachen imposed the Rule of Saint Benedict on all monasteries in the vast Carolingian Empire.

His deep devotion to Christ and great reverence for Saint Benedict led him to encourage monastics to update the observance of the Rule to meet the needs of a society, period of history, and monks very different from those Benedict had known.

He reminds readers today as well as then that monastic life is organized for the goal of attaining union with God by following Christ.
