Chapter 4: Guidelines for Christian and monastic good practice (paragraphs 6-8)
Your hope of fulfillment should be centred in God alone.
(From para. 6 of Ch. 4 of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry OSB, 1997.)
My hope of fulfillment, centered in God alone, can become the way I live each moment, and thus time touches the eternal, becomes holy.

With certitude I know, that the learning if you will, about placing my hope in God alone comes from the meditation practice and anchoring my mind and heart in the mantra. I push off from the known shore out into the unknown deep darkness where only faith and hope draw me ever onward into mystery.
