In Finding Sanctuary, Abbot Christopher Jamison, host of the BBC series The Monastery, presents the teachings of St. Benedict as a valuable resource for both the religious and those seeking spiritual guidance. The Monastery featured five non-monks living a monastic lifestyle for forty days, revealing how monks thoughtfully addressed everyday struggles, challenging the perception that they were out of touch. St. Benedict composed his Rule for monastic living 1,500 years ago at Monte Cassino, near Rome. The title, The Rule of St. Benedict, can mislead readers into thinking it is merely a set of rules; instead, it offers insights for Christian living with practical daily applications. These teachings continue to resonate today, as many rules have been adapted to fit contemporary contexts, as Benedict intended. Each generation of monastics integrates modern realities with the wisdom of the Rule, creating a spiritual energy that allows monasteries to remain sanctuaries. This sanctuary can also be cultivated within the hearts of individuals. The book illustrates how St. Benedict's wisdom can be relevant in busy modern lives, guiding people toward achieving sanctuary, peace, and insight, both inside and outside of monastic settings. Further resources for finding sanctuary are available on the Finding Sanctuary website.
