Monks and nuns make their professions according to the Rule , have frequent public reading of the Rule , and refer to it frequently for guidance in making decisions. In addition, there is much in the Rule that speaks to non-monastic people as well. No doubt this is because Benedict based his Rule on the teachings of Christ and the wisdom of the Scriptures. See how the Lord in his love shows us the way of life. If you would like a copy of the Rule for your own, you'll find it available in New Melleray's Gift Shop.
Copies are also available in most bookstores.
