Is the Rule of St. Benedict a strict law that monks follow?
” St. Benedict wrote his Rule as a guide for the men of his monastic community at Monte Cassino. Strikingly practical in its tone, the Rule provides a compassionate and enduring approach to living according to the spirit and teachings of Christ. While its original application continues in monasteries to this day, the Rule’s gentle wisdom provides insight and down-to-earth spiritual guidance in faithful Christian living for people of all walks of life.
