December 21

Feast of St. Thomas the Apostle


Chapter 64 pt. 2

The Rule of Benedict December 21

Gil speaks often about "non-anxious presence" as a leadership technique.  I experience this from him as a peaceful silence--an openness to what and who is there.  Benedict's words below call this value to mind.

Let her not be excitable and worried, 
nor exacting and headstrong, 
nor jealous and over-suspicious; 
for then she is never at rest.
