For those of us who are just beginning to plumb the riches of Benedictine Spirituality, here are some links I've found helpful, particularly for those of us in the world. Please feel free to add more to this thread. I'm sure I've missed a lot of them!
Rule of St Benedict
The Online Guide to Saint Benedict
The Jubilee Medal of St. Benedict
Oblates of the Order of St. Benedict
Benedictine Oblates: Introduction for Inquirers and Candidates
There are also some great basic books:
"The Benedictine Handbook"
"Seeking God: The Way of St. Benedict,", by Esther de Waal
"St. Benedict: A Rule for Beginners," by Julian Stead, OSB
anything by Blessed Columba Marmion, including "Union with God: Letters of Spiritual Direction" and "Christ, the Life of the Soul"

Thanks for the links. I am reading "John Cassian on Prayer" for Lent.
ReplyDeleteI also use Doyle's translation of the Rule and I use "Benedictine Daily Prayer" and I am just starting the "Monastic Diurnal" (oh boy!).
