Chapter 7: The value of humility (paragraphs 19-20)


The humility of their hearts should be apparent by their bodily movements to all who see them.
(From para. 19 of Ch. 7 of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry OSB, 1997.)

The words that come to mind from Fr. John's teaching are integrated and incarnational. In the practice of meditation, all aspects of my being come to be integrated in my heart, in the most incarnational form of prayer there is.
