The Rule of Benedict September 8
It is a challenge to live according to the Rule of Benedict outside a monastery. It requires a true oblation, an offering, of our lives to God. The momentum of life in our society propels us along a path very similar to that of the Sarabaites, who, "In their works they still keep faith with the world . . .," and whose "law is the desire for self-gratification: whatever enters their mind or appeals to them, that they call holy; what they dislike, they regard as unlawful." This is a danger for us especially as we shape our personal practice and discern our own rule of life.
