Do my clothes fit? Are they clean and pressed? How about my shoes, are they in good repair and do they shine? And my desk and my room, are they orderly? And the tools I use, do I use them properly and keep them in good condition? Benedict proposes that our care and use of the tools and goods of the monastery are as important as our prayer and meditation and should be treated with reverence and concern for others. Our management and housekeeping habits are essential aspects of our journey to holiness. These habits ultimately symbolize our ongoing conversion and commitment to God and to one another in this “school of the Lord’s service.”
