Chapter 27
The Rule of Benedict March 4
I appreciate that Father Benedict knows the temptation of leadership to enjoy the fellowship of the healthy and to avoid the care of the sick. In reality, "healthy" is an illusion that results from our own sense of safety and comfort. What is called for in this chapter is that which I think our order is called to at this time: the holding of weaknesses with kindness, gentleness, and patience.
