"The first of Benedict's disciples to be identified by name in Gregory the Great's Life of the monastic founder, Maurus serves there to illustrate by example rather than abstract principles the monastic virtues which Benedict inculcated. As the Benedictine Rule spread across the Carolingian Empire in the ninth century, Maurus reappears again, this time as the apostle of Benedictine monasticism north of the Alps. The Abbey of Glanfeuil claimed him as its founder, and from there a Life - purported to be copied from an ancient manuscript - and a Little Book of his miracles extended devotion to Maurus throughout France, and beyond."--BOOK JACKET.

Some may think that the point of prayer is to get our own way with extra-terrestrial help, or to save us from facing the problems of life, or to provide an escape from 'reality', or to give an emotional uplift that makes you feel food. Some may think that prayer is a way of expanding our consciousness which is achieved by our own discipline and personal effort at self-improvement. These are caricatures of what Christian prayer really is. There may be a strand of truth in some of them, but they miss the real point of prayer.

Saint Benedict's life is shrouded in mystery. Disturbed by the immorality of urban life in Rome around AD 500, he left the city to become a hermit. Disciples later joined him, and within a few decades the hermit became an abbot, and his great rule has guided Western monasticism ever since. Known to history primarily through Gregory the Great's Dialogues, written a century after Benedict's death, this great medieval figure is now made known to us by Carmen Avecedo Butcher. She explores all aspects of his unusual life, illuminating important episodes in the foundation of Western monasticism at the end of the Roman empire and the beginning of the Middle Ages.
