December 11

Chapter 58 pt. 1

The Rule of Benedict December 11

from April:

I feel that in some ways we are all, as an order, still novices in need of an elder who is skilled in winning souls.  I find great peace in reading that one does not find one's way into a Benedictine life in an instant of decision, but by patience and persistence.  Nor does one find one's way alone.

from August:

Let us seek to maintain within ourselves a spirit of deliberation regarding our life together and our individual places within it.  We are still very much at the beginning of things--newcomers to a way of life that is coming into being as we live it.
