Religious and Monastic Life Explained

<p>In presenting this translation of that most valuable work commonly known as Réglement from the prolific pen of the learned and ascetic Abbot Dom Prosper Guéranger it is our aim to meet to some extent a long-felt necessity and oft-expressed desire that it be made accessible to our English-speaking brethren. Though our labor may not be crowned with the same success as that of the renowned author we hope nevertheless that this work will find a hearty welcome and approval. May God graciously accept it as an instrument for showering His richest blessings on all who faithfully seek Him in the religious state.</p>
