The third series is as follows: CSSML which stands for May the holy Cross be my light. In this short but excellent book Father Ducruet (1927-2020) monk and later abbot of the Benedictine community of St-Benoit-sur-Loire distils the essential teaching of Saint Benedict in combatting the works of darkness to enable individuals to grow in holiness through the light of Christ.
