Chapter 63 pt. 2
The Rule of Benedict August 19
The practice of the OSBCn communities is for canons to take on the title of sister or brother when they take their vows. As awkward as this might seem initially, it brings the reality of the community very close to home, as Benedict indicates in this passage. We take on a formal identity in our relationships with each other when we enter into religious life, and it is appropriate for our names to reflect it.
