Fr. Mike Roethler OSB was president of St Gregory’s University when I began teaching there. He was a kind and gentle person. Whenever any of us went to him with a request to spend money, his response was always: “Is this a WANT or a NEED”?
I think St Benedict is asking us to do the same thing—to consider if our request is a WANT or a NEED. After thoughtful consideration we may find that most things we think we need are really just wants to make our lives more comfortable.
Sr. Veronica, OSB
