Front of the box reads: 

From the Rule of Saint Benedict.

Girded with a faith, and the performance of good works, let us follow in Christ's path by the guidance of the Gospel; then we shall deserve to see Him "who has called us into His Kingdom." If we wish to attain a dwelling place in His Kingdom, we shall not reach it unless we hasten there by our good deeds. Just as there exists an evil fervor, a bitter spirit, which leads us to hell, so there is a good fervor which sets us apart from evil inclinations and leads us toward God and eternal life. No one should follow what He considers to be good for himself, but rather what seems good for another. Let them put Christ before all else; and my He lead us all to everlasting life.
