THE MESSAGE “The Lord waits for us daily to translate into action, as we should, his holy teachings.” -- St. Benedict (Prol. 35)

“The man of God who shone on this earth among so many miracles was just as brilliant in the eloquent exposition of his teaching." -- St. Gregory the Great, writing on St. Benedict (Dialogues II, 36)
