As in many other areas, Benedict advocated moderation--taking the middle road of balance between work, prayer and rest. It seems that he realized that that middle ground can be difficult to achieve for the community members. In Chapter 48, Benedict prescribes the division of time between prayer and work.
Being a person who has difficulty finding balance in my life at times, I have grown to appreciate the wisdom of Benedict's directives on moderation and balance.
