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.
Washing those grimy feet again! How aversive a task, Lord Jesus, until I remember how you insist on washing my grimy feet. Your example inflames my heart with love, makes me immediately right-sized. Like you did to Peter, you embarrass me with your gentle and strong love in action. Well, here I am, Lord, here to answer "yes" to your loving me in any way you wish, here to answer “yes” to your call to serve you in whomever I meet today.
