Prologue to The Rule (paragraph 3)
Let us open our eyes to the light that can change us into the likeness of God.
(From para. 3 of Prologue to The Rule of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry OSB, 1997.)
It's a simple as opening my eyes -- the decision where to place my attention at any given moment. God beckons me continuously. How do I respond?

The last Chapter of the Rule points me to the Prologue and the Rule and to John Main. "What book of holy writers does not resoundingly summon us along the true way to reach the Creator?" I "reach" the Creator Who has and does "reach" me in Christ in the meeting place of the meditating heart.
