Chapter 12

The Rule of Benedict October 15

I know that Lauds has been, for many of us, the primary office used to begin our practice.  I find it amazing and beautiful that we, a millennium and a half later, can recognize the components of this office as they are laid out here in Chapter 12.  This is one part of my soul's deep longing: to step into one of the Great Streams of the Faith and to be transformed by its ancient flow.
