Chapter 56: The table for the superior and community guests

The superior's table should always be with guests and pilgrims.

(From Ch. 56 of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry OSB, 1997.)

For me, this is a reminder not to get too comfortable with the limitations of my familiar little psychic world. Living in the Spirit requires an attention to openness and finding Christ beyond the "comfort zone" of my ego.
