Chapter 5 pt. 1
The Rule of Benedict September 22
From May:
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.
