Chapter 18 pt. 3
The Rule of Benedict June 24
Last night we celebrated the Feast of St. Benedict (July 11) at our last Vespers service until August. Gil shared that the goal of the Benedictine path is to live a transparent life to oneself, to God, and to others. The Psalms are used in the Benedictine tradition to fulfill this end by giving voice to both our shadow self and to our self that walks in the full light of God. One task that is ours on Benedict's path is to recognize ourselves in these ancient songs of the human experience.
