Reviews
Obviously this is a daybook for everyone!Prairie Messenger When a foremost, internationally recognized scholar on the Rule of Benedict who has also successfully lived monastic life for fifty years is willing-albeit reluctantly-to share the fruits of this rich life experience, our own spiritual journey is enriched indeed. Kernels of wisdom, dry wit and humor abound.St. Placid Priory Anyone who studies religious communities and those who are interested in traditional or non-traditional communal ways of life could find this work engaging.Catholic Books Review Terrence Kardong is the foremost scholar of the Rule of Benedict in the United States today. He tells us that monasticism is a set of practices that one only understands once one has done them. After forty years of studying and living the monastic life, Fr. Terrence sees monasticism with the eye of a dedicated, wry and clear-sighted practitioner. Professed Benedictines, oblates, and anyone interested in monastic life and spirituality will benefit from the wisdom encapsulated in the meditations.Fr. Hugh Feiss, OSB Day by Day with St. Benedict is a unique resource for anyone interested in the spirituality of the Rule of Benedict. Employing both his considerable experience of monastic life and his scholarly insights, Father Kardong distills the wisdom of the Rule in pithy quips and timeless spiritual teachings. Day by Day will help the reader to plumb the psychological depth of the Rule and at the same time will make the rich tradition of the Rule seem more accessible to the spiritual searcher.Fr. Joel Rippinger, OSB, Marmion Abbey, Aurora, Illinois Terrence Kardong says he wondered about his ability to write substantial reflections on texts from St. Benedict's Rule for every day of the year. This book is his successful achievement. It is a daily gift for vowed Benedictines, Oblates of St. Benedict, and anyone else who wishes to know about the Rule and to be guided by it. The scholarship in these short commentaries is accessible to the ordinary person, and there are some wonderful stories about characters who live in monasteries. It's the kind of book you want to read all your days.Brother Benet Tvedten, OSB, Oblate Director, Blue Cloud Abbey, Marvin, South Dakota
