This book includes The Life of Saint Anthony of the Desert. by St. Athanasius, The Holy Rule of Saint Benedict, and The Twelve Degrees of Humility and Pride, by St. Bernard, edited by Dr. WIlliam Fahey.
St. Antony of the Desert, St. Benedict of Nursia, and St. Bernard of Clairvaux rise above all other figures in Catholic history as guides. To travel with them and to seek a view upon the heights of their personal holiness and wisdom is to secure passage into the rich and complex world of monasticism.
Monasticism distills the essence of Catholic spirituality for all time and for all Christians. The Foundations of Western Monasticism, concentrates on three of the finest Christian texts available and will provide both first-time and advanced readers with an essential review of Christian monasticism and the foundational principles of Catholic prayer life, spiritual combat, contemplation, and communal living.
