Chapter 50 of the Rule invites us to remember to praise God wherever we may be, in whatever circumstance we might find ourselves. Benedict uses the example of a person going on a long journey--one that might keep me away from remembering who I am and what I am about in life. His injunction to praise God wherever I may find myself reminds me that I desire to be the same person in the monastery as I am on a journey, at work, on the ball field or in the classroom. The same elements that go into shaping my character for community need to be present in my daily life no matter what I am doing.
I have always longed to be a person of true integrity. May God mold me daily into the person that I am created to be.
Sr. Catherine, OSB
