Prologue to The Rule (paragraph 5)
And so now to prepare ourselves for the journey before us let us renew our faith and set ourselves high standards by which to lead our lives. (From para. 5 of Prologue to The Rule of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry, OSB, 1997.)
Perhaps the highest standard of all for me is Christ's teaching to live in the here and now. How would suffering, especially self-generated habits of mind, be transformed, if I encountered life without judgement or fear? What would break through in the now?
