April 21

Chapter 64 pt. 2

The Rule of Benedict April 21

What a beautiful picture of leadership Benedict paints in this passage.  I have no commentary other than to say that any leader in our order should humbly seek to follow in this way.

My favorite paragraph is the second to the last:

They should take to heart these and other examples of discretion, the mother of virtues, and manage everything in the monastery so that the strong may have ideals to inspire them and the weak may not be frightened away by excessive demands.
