Chapter 2 pt. 7
The Rule of Benedict January 15
Father Benedict ends this chapter by emphasizing that the responsibility of the monastic superior is for the welfare of souls, which is to be the fulcrum about which life in the monastery turns. Nothing is to take its place, especially not the material and financial concerns of the monastery. This fulcrum is the same in our order, and I ask your prayers and mercy as I, your Prior, seek to honor Benedict's weighty manifesto set forth in this chapter.
