January 7

Prologue pt. 7

The Rule of Benedict January 7

In these final words of the Prologue to Benedict's Rule, he declares that his intention is to establish a school for God's service.  In Benedict's school we learn how to obey the commands of the Lord so that our souls might be a place that God would call home.  So, as a Benedictine order, what does our school look like?  How do our roles engage Benedict's intention of shaping a community wherein souls find true union with God, both in this life and beyond?
