Monastic life involves a continual return to the Gospel

and this exploration begins on the road to Emmaus, in

the company of downhearted disciples who were

astonished to discover the Lord in their midst. Inviting

the reader to a renewed encounter with the Lord on

the road, this book explores the Rule of Saint Benedict

and illustrates how the English Benedictine Congregation

is responding to Christ’s call today. It will

inspire all clergy, religious, and laypeople who value

the consecrated life.
