The philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre surmized that our ailing Western culture needed "another, albeit very different, St. Benedict" to guide us to a better future.

Another Benedict will not only explore what the traditional monastic practices of prayer (Lectio Divina and Liturgy of the Hours), fasting, and work can look like for those living outside a cloister, but we will focus on practical ways to live those disciplines in your busy life. 

We'll do all of this by going directly to the sources and learning from not only St. Benedict but also those he pointed to, like St. John Cassian, St. Basil the Great, and the Desert Fathers (especially Evagrius Ponticus). We'll also learn from the best of the modern monastic fathers, like Thomas Merton, OSOC, Adelbert de Vogue, OSB, Sr. Mary Margaret Funk, OSB, and many more.
