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.)
What are the highest standards in my life? Surely, to be faithful to the mantra, to learn to know myself in the light of Christ's love, to let selfishness and fear and judgment and complexity dissolve, so that in utter simplicity I learn to discern my deepest meaning and purpose.
