Today is July 4, 2024.
There is much to be found in today's reading from the Rule and Sister Joan's commentary. It is yet again one of those readings we might initially think is meant for another time and place. I quietly offer the following observations, drawn directly for Sister Joan's commentary.
The Rule of Benedict is for human beings. We are just simple people who never meet our own ideals. Our role is simply to try to soothe what hurts them, heal what weakens them, lift what burdens them and wait. The spiritual life is a process, not an event. It takes time and love and help and care.
It takes our patient presence.
