“He must so accommodate and adapt himself to each one’s character and intelligence that he will not only keep the flock entrusted to his care from dwindling but will rejoice in the increase of a good flock.” RB2.32
We all know what a “dwindling spirit” feels like, don’t we? Thanks be to God for the grace of the Holy Spirit at work in the whole community that allows the monastic leader to turn (adapt and accommodate) for the sake of each person. Have you ever been surprised by a goodness from within in response to the presence of a caring person? May that Goodness abound in you today!
