The Rule of St. Benedict: Chapter 54
As we approach the end of Lent and our penances have worked their work for more than a month, let us attend to that within us which still needs to possess and which still needs to control what comes to us.
These needs are the mountains we make low to prepare the way for the Risen One.
And let us also attend to that within us which feels unworthy to receive from the generous, life-restoring hand of God.
These feelings are valleys we lift up.
When God's path into or lives is level, we are able to receive God and bear new life into the world, joyfully offering what has been entrusted to us for the benefit of all.
Br. Chad
