All About the Charts for St. Benedict’s Toolbox

Do you like to keep track of things you have done?  I do.  Why?  At this point I my life, I can forget what I have done!

I have included two charts in this website.  One will enable you to track the tools you have used found in the book St. Benedict’s Toolbox.  The other chart will help you search for tools that address specific aspects of The Rule of St Benedict that you would like to “try on for size,”

Tool Tracking Chart

Provides a way to track your use of the tools and to keep notes on each tool

Tools By Subject

Cross-references each tool to a subject such as stability, obedience, prayer, listening for God, hospitality, relationships, work, etc.

To reach the correct chart, please note which version of St. Benedict’s Toolbox that you are reading – the First Edition (2005) or the Tenth Anniversary Edition (2015).  Then, click on the chart you would like to use.  These will be PDF files that you may print.

I hope you find both these charts helpful in learning about and using the practices that St. Benedict offers in his Rule.
