September 24

Chapter 6

The Rule of Benedict September 24

Rarely do words ring truer in my life than Benedict's quote from Proverbs 10:19: "In much speaking you will not escape sin."

To "hold silence," as Gil calls it, is to listen for direction in a conversation or a group from somewhere other than my own thoughts and words.  It is to be fully present and engaged without reaching for the steering wheel.
