Chapter 61 pt. 2
The Rule of Benedict December 16
from August:
The spirit of hospitality in this chapter is not separated from the spirit of discernment. The welcome is of the visiting monastic as she is, and the ear of the community is tuned to hear what God has to say through the presence of the visitor. Benedict makes it clear, however, that the community is likewise responsible to perceive clearly whether that presence is helpful or harmful and to act accordingly.
