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.)

Delight in listening, and turning generously to the present. It seems to me that St Benedict describes what it is like to live with selfless attention, and an expanding sprit.
