October 11

Chapter 8

The Rule of Benedict October 11

A Benedictine's life is a life that finds its main orientation according to prayer.  Think of what will get you out of bed in the middle of the night--a crying child, a red-eye flight, "the necessities of nature."  We orient our lives according to such things.

Imagine our prayers being our first priority in our daily life.  What would need to shift?  What resistance would arise within me to such a reorientation?
