Prologue to the Rule (paragraph 6)
It is in the light of that teaching that the Lord waits for us every day to see if we will respond by our deeds, as we should, to his holy guidance. (From para. 6 of Prologue to Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry, OSB, 1997.)
"Doing good deeds" sound a bit old-fashioned to my ears, and ladened with work ethic. But I do ask myself how I will respond to Lord's guidance -- with more kindness, gentleness, patience, I hope, and openness to the transformative power of true relationship?
