Those interested in a great religious classic will find here a way to apply the Rule to their own daily life. These short, daily reflections on quotations from the Rule are accessible to lay people and religious alike and they will help the reader to incorporate Benedictine values in his or her own life.Day by Day with Saint Benedict includes 366 meditations, one for each day of the year. In some of the meditations Kardong shares true stories told from his long experience of Benedictine community life that show how he has applied the Rule to his own life and how he has seen it incorporated in the lives of those around him.Terrence G. Editor of American Benedictine Review, he also wrote Benedict's Rule published by the Liturgical Press.. Reflecting on years of living the Benedictine life and of scholarly work on the Rule of Saint Benedict, monk and priest Terrence Kardong offers his wisdom in Day by Day with Saint Benedict. Kardong, OSB, is a monk of Assumption Abbey in Richardton, North Dakota
Put Your Hope in God Father Kardong, the foremost scholar of the Rule of Benedict in the U.S. today, offers short daily meditations based on the Rule of Benedict. He has chosen to present the meditations in no particular order in terms of either the rule, itself, or the calendar, thus providing the element of surprise: "You never know what you will run into on the next page." Thumbing through, we find colorful stories to illustrate some of the monastery-specific passages from the rule, background on monastic life that explains the reasons behind portions of the rule, and, in most instances, suggestions for applying Benedict's rule to l. Day by Day with Sait Benedict Sherilyn J. Ross I feel that this book helps me relate the rule to my life. It is my evening reading.. "Waste of money" according to Always learning. This is not a true day by day through The Rule but a hit and miss selection of segments. There are days that Kargong has a good response, but most are not commentaries to clarify or help apply lessons to our lives. Instead, they are often critical of The Rule and those who follow it, giving the reader a sense that Kardong somehow feels he is so superior in intellect and insight. He's not. I suggest you save your money and not buy this book. This book doesn't hold a candle to the excellent commentary by Joan Chittister.OSB.
Obviously this is a daybook for everyone!
