Follow one of Catholicism's most revered saints on his extraordinary journey from solitude to sainthood in a story filled with earthly trials, diabolical attacks, and heavenly triumphs. St. Benedict: Monk, Mystic, Exorcist explores this riveting true story about radical faith and spiritual warfare in the ashes of the Roman Empire.
Benedict of Nursia gave up a privileged life of Roman nobility and an education in Literature and Law for a life of silent meditation in a remote cave. After three years of wrestling with unseen forces and relying on the good will of strangers for sustenance, this cave-dwelling hermit emerged as a spiritual leader.
Gaining noteriety as a humble man of miracles, visions, exorcisms, and prophecies, Benedict’s one-man monastic movement grew to include a legion of devoted followers who practiced his Rule and helped him revolutionize monasteries around the world.
Saint Benedict: Monk, Mystic, Exorcist weaves together remarkable threads of monasticism, mystical experiences, prayer, and spiritual combat to paint a vivid portrait of an enigmatic man whose legacy continues to inspire the modern-day world.
