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.
“ . . . let no one presume . . . to have anything as his own . . . anything whatever . . . “. Everything I have, starting with this day of life itself, every thought and every image, every bit of knowledge, is not my own, Abba. You are the “one thing necessary”. You give yourself, Love itself, to me, here, now, in the present moment.
