Learn Benedictine Humility by Reading This Book

. . .Although St. Benedict retreated into seclusion to escape the lures of wealth & immorality, following in his footsteps does not necessarily require the total rejection of the world. In his book entitled Humility Rules, Benedictine Father J. Augustine Wetta suggests another way of life inspired by St. Benedict, one that is compatible with modernity. . .
