About this book
The life and miracles of the Holy Father Benedict
Author: Gregory I, Pope, approximately 540-604
Year: 1860
"The publication of St. Gregory the Great's Life of St. Benedict, together with the Spirit of the Saint's ascetic rule, in a form adapted for an extensive circulation, seems to demand in the way of introduction some such brief explanation as may serve to guard the minds of simple and pious readers, not merely against the grounds on which monastic life is made the subject of open attack and ridicule under the opprobrious name of *' monkery," but also against others less open to suspicion by which it may notwithstanding come to be almost as effectually robbed of the honour that is both its rightful due and that has in all ages and times been paid to it by the faithful."
