Chapter 65 pt. 2
The Rule of Benedict April 23
The Church spends Holy Saturday with its Great Abbot in a tomb. She languishes without her Leader like the disciples cowering in confusion behind closed doors--helpless and aimless. We sit today in the great vacuum of Power. Jesus is dead.
Let us use our experience of this day to reflect upon Benedict's instructions in this passage. He is tapping into and drawing from universal truths about leadership that our journey through Holy Week brings into sharp relief.
