Rent St. Benedict: Monk, Mystic, Exorcist

Synopsis

Follow one of the most revered saints in history as he embarks on a journey through earthly trials, diabolical attacks, and heavenly triumphs. St. Benedict: Monk, Mystic, Exorcist is the riveting true story of one man's radical faith and spiritual battles in the ashes of the Roman Empire. Benedict of Nursia gave up a privileged life of nobility to seek solitude in a remote cave. After three years of wrestling with unseen forces and relying on the good will of strangers for sustenance, he emerged as a spiritual leader. Known as a man of miracles, visions, exorcisms, and prophecies, Benedict's one-man monastic movement grew into a community of devotees - as well as a legion of jealous enemies, some of whom plotted to kill the humble hermit. Saint Benedict: Monk, Mystic, Exorcist weaves together remarkable threads of monasticism, mystical experiences, prayer, and spiritual combat to paint a vivid portrait of an enigmatic man whose legacy continues to inspire the world today.
