At the center of the entrance cloister at Monte Cassino stands this beautiful bronze statue by the sculptor A. Selva. The work is based on the description given by St. Gregory the Great, who wrote the biography of St. Benedict's life. He is standing, supported by monks after having received the Holy Communion. This statue was a gift from the German Chancelor K. Adenauer in 1952.
God's mercy and love
Lifts us out of the abyss
God's gift to us all
God's gift to us all
Everlasting joy and peace
The gift to all saints

Thanks be to God!
