Chapter 5 pt. 1
The Rule of Benedict May 23
Before we are able to obey, we must be able to perceive that which is being asked of us. John the Baptist says that Jesus comes as one with a winnowing fork in hand to separate the wheat from the chaff. On a personal level, I have experienced this to mean that Jesus, my Master, comes to separate that which is true from that which is false within me. Obedience for a Benedictine is to act in accordance with what Jesus reveals to be true with regard to Holy Scripture, the Rule, and the instructions of one's Superior.
