Chapter 7 pt. 3
The Rule of Benedict January 27
When I truly know that God is intimately aware of my inner life, my ability to harbor wrongful thoughts is threatened. How can I, when I know there is no secrecy, hide my wickedness from God? Yet I often find myself trying to do just that. I am forgetful. I operate from an egocentrism that focuses my attention on the walls and darkened corners within my mind. And this is the first step of humility, to replace this small perspective that harbors my darkness with God's vast light that drives all darkness away.
