September 9

Chapter 2 pt. 1

The Rule of Benedict September 9

In Benedict's concluding metaphor, the Superior's instructions are to be like divine justice that must be kneaded into the minds of the disciples.  Such kneading, it seems to me, requires close and regular exchanges between the Superior and the members of the community as well as a life structure in which instructions can be followed.  I believe that the structure of a Benedictine Canon Community would facilitate such kneading well.
