Description

This little book is a collection of blessings from St. Benedict. “Benedict” has the same root as “benediction” or “blessing.” Little is known of this great Western saint. Besides his Rule and the Life by St. Gregory the Great, there is nothing originally written about him. But his effect on the world is profound.
