Prologue to the Rule (paragraph 3)
However late, then, it may seem, let us rouse ourselves from lethargy. That is what scripture urges on us when it says: the time has come for us to rouse ourselves from sleep. Let us open our eyes to the light that can change us into the likeness of God.
(From para. 3 of the Prologue to Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry OSB, 1997.)
Through the practice of selfless attention, my mind may be transformed into the mind of Christ. Lethargy causes me to forget this. Faith reminds me of the experience of consciousness of Jesus dwelling in my heart. Discipline helps me to remember faith.
