Book Reviews
Members of the St. Benedict Catholic Worker will share book reviews on this page.

Oblation, Meditations on St. Benedict's Rule (Paraclete Press, 2006) by Rachel M Srubas is the first book reviewed on this page. A Preface and Introduction by the author chronicle a journey of both spiritual reading and spiritual writing informed by the Benedictine practice of lectio divina.

Oblation takes the form of a series of poetic reflections on excerpts from St. Benedict's Rule. An excellent choice for those who pray or write and for all who desire a deeper understanding of Benedictine practice.

Oblation, Meditations on St. Benedict's Rule is one of  several offerings on Benedictine spirituality available from Paraclete Press.

Also of interest is Paraclete Press' site on Gregorian chant resources, including a list of publications from Solesmes.
