Simplicity and Balance of Life

February – SIMPLICITY & BALANCE OF LIFE

We commit ourselves to be faithful in finding God in the ordinary circumstances of our life.

Text:  “Benedict prescribed ‘nothing harsh, nothing burdensome’ for his followers.” Prologue, RB

 

Monday, February 3  Feasts of St Blaise, bishop & martyr; St Ansgar, bishop

The simplicity of the Benedictine lifestyle has a lot to do with living in a state of “enough.”  Benedict didn’t advocate living in a state of lacking, nor espouse living in excess, but rather living in a state of “enough,” a state of moderation.
