A Rhythm of Life

From the origins of Benedictine tradition to our lives today, A Rhythm of Life, the Monastic Way traces and reflects upon a way of life that is both simple and inspiring. Brother Victor-Antoine d'Avila Latourrette highlights the many traditions, both daily and yearly, that bring us back to a prayerful, meaningful life that often escapes us in our busy day-to-day lives.

Brother Victor-Antoine explains the origins of monastic tradition and its essential virtues. Guided by reflection through the four seaons, you will consider the simply rhythms of daily monastic life, in which prayer and work -- Ora et Labora -- are in balance and seasonal feast days are celebrated.

The wisdom spirituality of the monastic life, inspired by St. Benedict, will rouse in you a desire to apply its virtues in your own life and to live simply and in peace.
