The Rule of Benedict January 17

Part of what it means for us to bear the title "Benedictine" is for us to accept the Rule of Benedict as a rule, or a standard, by which to measure our lives.  This does not imply that we subject ourselves to a simple, one-to-one application of the Rule, but rather that we each submit ourselves to the authority of the Rule instead of to our self-will in matters pertaining to our spiritual formation.
