A Sixth-Century Monastic Tradition
A keepsake devotional card, set for quiet reading and daily reflection.
Saint Benedict of Nursia founded a way of monastic life in the sixth century built on two simple words: ora et labora — pray and work. From the abbey at Monte Cassino, his rule of quiet discipline and steady devotion shaped monastic communities across Europe for generations that followed.
The prayer associated with his name has been copied by hand, carried in pockets, and set on writing desks by those seeking a moment of steadiness in the day. This card is offered in that same spirit — not as a promise of any particular outcome, but as a small, tangible object meant for quiet use.
May the Cross be my light,
let not the dragon be my guide.
Begone, temptation —
never counsel me with vain things.
What you offer me is evil;
drink your own poison.
