Part of a collection written over twenty years, Lessons from Saint Benedict contains 26 letters written by Donald Raila, OSB, a Benedictine monk of Saint Vincent Archabbey. Using the 1500 year old Rule of Benedict and Benedictine spirituality as his foundation, Father Donald offers words of spiritual encouragement and guidance for persevering through the journey of daily life. With the Gospel and Rule of Benedict as guides, Raila says, we can learn to see God's graces in every dimension of our lives, even the most seemingly mundane. Father Donald provides both serious and light-hearted examples from his own life to demonstrate how we can renew and strengthen our spirituality through the daily grind, and perhaps even find joy in the process.
Father Donald S. Raila, OSB, is a Benedictine monk of Saint Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. He has been the Director of Oblates since 1988, and during that time has written quarterly letters to the community of Oblates and friends of Saint Vincent Archabbey.

Lessons from Saint Benedict Finding Joy in Daily Life edition by Donald Raila Benedict Groeschel Religion Spirituality eBooks
This book was a pleasure to read! Father Raila captures well the essence of the Holy Rule for those of us living outside of a monastery but still attracted to Benedictine ideals: The constant challenge of fidelity to the Rule and the Christian life, with all of the discipline that this requires, and also true compassion in acknowledging our common weakness and the likelihood that we will often fail to live up that challenge. He is encouraging throughout, with a self-effacing style that is easily relatable. He does not dodge the more difficult aspects of living our Catholic/Christian Faith, but he does so in a caring, loving, and often humorous way.Product details

Lessons from Saint Benedict Finding Joy in Daily Life edition by Donald Raila Benedict Groeschel Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
Excellent!
This book is a collection of writings about the Rule of St Benedict from Fr. Donald, OSB's newsletters to the Oblates of St Benedict from St Vincent Archabbey, Latrobe, PA, USA. And, most relevant for todays Oblate in a modern world.
Good copy.
Very prayerful. Inspirational.
Clear and concise examples from real life gathered to guide those searching for specific help in actual living situations. Oblates especially can draw from these as points of bringing monastic discipline to life in the secular world.
I have been to Monte Casino in Italy
An excellent companion book to go with reading the Rule of St. Benedict. The examples from his personal life give added help to his readers. A good resource for private or group study.
