Chapter 47: Signalling the times for the work of God


The superior is personally responsible for making sure that the time for the work of God, both at night at during the daytime, is clearly made known to all.
(From para. 1 of Ch. 47 of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry, OSB, 1997.)

I think that St Benedict's call to signal the work of God include those times when the Spirit urges me to speak about contemplative and counter-cultural values that the world needs to know.
