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.
" . . . One or two elders . . . Their duty is to see that no one is so apathetic as to waste time or engage in idle talk to the neglect of their reading . . . ". Abba, you know how lazy I am. Help me to willingly and lovingly give myself to the manual labor of writing this comment and doing the reading that prepares me for it and to find you in the process.
