This selection of conferences on "Saint Benedict's Rule for Monasteries" by the former abbot of Assumption Abbey of Ava, Missouri, was delivered to the brothers there as a way of showing what Saint Benedict and his sixth-century Rule might have to offer monks of the early 21st century. It is hoped that this publication will now speak to men and women outside of the monastic cloister, so they may come to feel at home with Saint Benedict.
