Chapter 5 pt. 2
The Rule of Benedict September 23
In our context, it seems to me that murmuring, or grumbling, occurs whenever feelings of opposition to our community's leadership rise up in our hearts and are given a bed and a seat at the table. Appropriately addressing those feelings directly to the leadership is not murmuring, nor is acknowledging them and showing them to the door. But when we welcome, feed, and house them in the privacy of our hearts, they keep us from being formed in the likeness of Christ on the Benedictine path.
