Prologue to The Rule (paragraph 4)


If you [answer, "I"], he says, I shall look on you with such love and my ears will be so alert to your prayer that, before you so much as call on me, I shall say to you: here I am. 
(From para. 4 of the Prologue to Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry OSB, 1997.)

The consciousness of the person of Jesus dwells in my heart: I am already in relationship, in the most intimate way, and all my outward relationships are meant to flow from this reality.
