Chapter 61 pt. 1
The Rule of Benedict April 15
I love the posture of humility that this passage instructs the community to assume with regard to the visitor. The community is instructed to listen to and learn from the visiting monastic. Benedict desires open hearts and receptive minds to whatever God brings to the communities that bear his name.
As we move forward, let us open ourselves to hearing and learning from others who have walked the path of a vowed religious life. I believe that in this way we will discover profound blessings as we enter the next stage of our life together.
