The themes that are present throughout the Rule - obedience, humility, prayer, fear of the Lord, eternal life - are grounded in the Prologue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy reflecting on the Prologue one verse at a time, Michael Casey, OCSO, delves into the richness of meaning that can be found in Benedict's words. These reflections, first given as talks and made available on his community's web site, build a bridge between the sixth-century text and twenty-first-century Christians. In \u003ci\u003eThe Road to Eternal Life\u003c\/i\u003e, Casey invites readers to reflect on the Prologue in light of their own experiences, to seek the road that leads to salvation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCasey, Michael:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eMichael Casey, OCSO, has been a monk of Tarrawarra Abbey (Australia) since 1960.
