Chapter 7: The value of humility (paragraph 8)


The second step of humility is not to love having our own way nor to delight in our own desires.
(From para. 8 of Ch. 7 of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry OSB, 1997.)

In having my own way, or delighting in my own desires, I exclude the expansive corrective of relationship from my experience.
