Chapter 27
The Rule of Benedict November 3
This chapter describes the motivation behind the harsh disciplinary techniques in the few preceding chapters. The means of discipline may change from 6th century Italy to now, but the attitude behind "the care of weak souls" outlined here is an enduring value of Benedict's Rule.
Let us seek to embody this "solicitous concern" for the welfare of those who fill the role of "delinquent brethren" in our lives, even if our call is simply to pray.
