Saint Benedict's fifth-century guide to humility is a fundamental spirituality for those who work and pray. For the record the twelve steps are fear of God, self-denial, obedience, perseverance, repentance, serenity, self-abasement, prudence, silence, dignity, discretion and reverence.
This is a simple book to read and upon which to meditate. Simple is, however, not shallow, but profound. It challenges much of our American individualistic, self-asserting narcissistic culture that infects us all. Strongly recommended for anyone who wants to go to heaven starting now! Fr. John
