A propos de cet article

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'The Rule in Bits and Pieces' is a collection of over 140 reflections covering every chapter of the Holy Rule of St. Benedict. In this collection, Father Donald Raila, O.S.B. has brought together a diversity of contributions from the Benedictine monks and Oblates of Saint Vincent Archabbey. Each contributor expresses his or her unique understanding of the power of the Rule as a tool for directing our daily, 21st century lives towards balance and fullness in Christ. Through these reflections, we see the inspiration and genius of St. Benedict in creating a daily rigor of prayer and work that supports our physical and emotional needs and furthers us along the path of spiritual development.Selected Text from the IntroductionSome Christians have undertaken the task of simply reading the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation over a set period of time. Some of them have attested to the value of this kind of spiritual exercise. However, such a marathon of reading, which would be difficult to pursue with ample time for prayerful reflection, may not be the best way to approach the Bible, at least not for most people. In most circumstances, it is more productive to read slowly and prayerfully and to take just a word, a phrase, a verse, or perhaps (at most) a few verses at a time. This method of lectio divina helps the Christian devoted to God's word to be a true listener and to enter into dialogue with God Himself.The same principle might be applied to reading the Rule of Saint Benedict. It has been authoritatively said that because it was written in a prayerful spirit, so to speak as lectio divina, it should also be read as lectio divina. Thus it is best to read the Rule in small portions, slowly and reflectively. Many monks and Oblates have taken on the traditional custom of reading one of 122 sections of the Rule each day. This pre-established division of the Rule enables the reader to cover the whole document three times a year.It is hoped that this book will assist many Oblates (and others who are attracted to the Rule) to read the Rule more fruitfully and to gain more personal meaning from it. By approaching it with greater comprehension and personal insight, the reader may be led to deeper conversion as a Christian and thus also to greater ability to share his or her faith with others. In this era of 'New Evangelization,' may this little work help Oblates and monks to cooperate more fully with God's lavish graces in the little things that they do each day and thus to become better beacons of hope in a world immersed in much hopelessness stemming from the 'culture of death.' . …
