Rule Of St. Benedict


Listen Carefully my son, to the Master's instructions, and attend to them with the ear of your heart. This is the advice from a father who loves you, welcome it, and faithfully put it into practice.

The Rule of St. Benedict, Prologue


  Traditional Rule of St. Benedict
The original rule of St. Benedict contains everything that is needed to build a strong and stable monastic community. It is important to have an understanding of the Rule as written by St. Benedict himself, even if some of it needs to be amended for the modern world.

​
Contemporary Rule of St. Benedict 
This Contemporary Rule was adapted by the White Robed Monks of St. Benedict and is no less inspired than the tradional Rule of St. Benedict. This is here as it is important to also have an understanding of how the Rule can be applied to the modern world and still help us to live a blessed, consecrated life.
