Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a translation of the original biography by Pope Gregory the Great about the life and times of Saint Benedict, founder of the Benedictine Order. It provides an in-depth and authentic account of his early years, influences, and legacy. St. Benedict was born into a wealthy and noble family in 480 A.D. in Nursia, Italy. At a young age, he renounced his worldly possessions and dedicated his life to God. The author explores the historical context of the time, marked by political turmoil and the fall of the Roman Empire, which shaped Benedict's path and the challenges he faced. The book delves into the core principles of Benedict's teachings, including monasticism, obedience, and humility. It highlights his emphasis on community, hard work, and spiritual growth.
