Thoughts on the Two-Year Anniversary of My Monastic Profession
|
I entered into a room with a view – a thousand sunsets bedecked in sky-blue pink and good-byes at day’s end.
Good-bye “Listen carefully, my child, to your master's precepts, and incline the ear of your heart. Receive willingly and carry out effectively your loving father's advice, that by the labor of obedience you may return to Him from whom you had departed by the sloth of disobedience.”
–St. Benedict of Nursia, The Rule of Saint Benedict
