May 5

Prologue pt. 4

The Rule of Benedict May 5

Benedict continues here to demonstrate from Scripture the conditions in which God is at home, both in the human soul and in a community.  But, Father Benedict instructs, it is vitally important that neither the soul nor the community develop pride as a result of its purity.  Yes, let us cast temptations from the sight of our hearts before they take hold in our soul and/or community, but let us also cultivate a humility that keeps God in God's place and us in ours.
