Chapter 18 pt. 2
The Rule of Benedict October 23
Over the last several months, Psalm 119 has found resonance within me in ways that I have not expected. Some speculate that this Psalm, based on the Hebrew alphabet, is a mnemonic tool intended for children. It is not nuanced, not subtle, and I find great help in its overt, simple assertion over and over that the speaker loves and obeys God's commands. My ego, at a given time, might balk by any number of concepts found in the psalm, but the deepest longings of my true self are affirmed and encouraged by its clear intention.
