WCCM Oblate Blog: Reflections from Daily Reading of the Rule of St. Benedict

WCCM Benedictine Oblates are encouraged to read a designated portion of the Rule daily, and to write a brief, personal response. I hope that this blog will support our Oblate community in this practice. Please, keep blog entries brief and in a first-person ("I") voice. Refrain from discussing, offering an opinion, or commenting on other entries. Simply consider how a particular section of the Rule is speaking to you in your present circumstances.

Chapter 56: The table for the superior and community guests

The superior's table should always be with the guests and pilgrims. (From Ch. 56 of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry, OSB, 1997.)

Who am I? The superior? The guest? The pilgrim? The Christian vision of unity recognizes Christ in all of my aspects, and in the aspects of everyone I meet.

“The spirit that is a healthy spirit is the spirit of an explorer,” John Main states in “Fully Alive”, referring to what we do ever day in meditation. I am a pilgrim , Abba, seeking you in the here and now, with me and within me. And that’s exciting!
