March 9

Ash Wednesday

Chapter 31 pt. 2

The Rule of Benedict March 9

This second half of Chapter 31 conveys to me a spirit of hearth and home that Benedict seeks to instill in the monastic community.  The gentle organization and the humble carrying out of the duties of cellarer remind me of the households I have known wherein love, courtesy, and peace describe the family culture.  I feel this same spirit in our order.  Let us take care to tend the fire.
