Service

Today is July 13th.  

Chapter 35 speaks to the importance of service to our community.  Benedict reminds us that

Members should serve one another.  It fosters love.
Serve one another in love.

Sister Joan goes on to point out that the spiritual life is not simply what we think about; it is what we do because of what we think.  If we do not serve one another we are, at best, a collection of people who live alone together.  Love and accountability should be the fulcrum of community life.
