Chapter 4: Guidelines for Christian and monastic good practice (paragraphs 9-13)


You should take delight in listening to sacred reading and in often turning generously to prayer.
(From para. 9 of Ch. 4 of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry OSB, 1997.)

There's no doubt in my mind that a fruit of meditation is a gradual turning more generously to prayer until living becomes prayer.
