January 3

Prologue pt. 3


The Rule of Benedict January 3

To God's call for workers who desire true life that lasts forever we have, in taking our vows, answered that we are such workers.  God's response to our answer, Benedict indicates, is gentle encouragement to create the conditions in which God is at home.  Let us, then, seek after peace in our order by ridding our tongues and lips of evil and deceitful words so that we are able to know God's, "I am here," in our prayers.
