September 7

Prologue pt. 7

The Rule of Benedict September 7

My desire for myself and our order is that "as we advance in the religious life and in faith, our hearts [will] expand and we [will] run the way of God's commandments with unspeakable sweetness of love."

Let us not, therefore, shy away from what seems difficult.  There are no illusions about this path in Benedict's rule--the entrance to the way of salvation cannot but be narrow.
