Human development demands that we grow...grow beyond childish uncontrol
to maturity and that we be willing to correct things in ourselves in order
to grow, whatever the cost.Benedict clearly believes that there are indeed things we must be willing to die
to in life if we want to go beyond the fruitless patterns we're in right now.
The spiritual life in the Benedictine tradition is not a series of overnight stays.
Human community is the universal obligation to live fully ourselves and to live well with others.
What price do we pay for failure? Does recognition of this price help us set the cost we are willing to pay to amend our ways? How much has been said and written about dying to self? Is this this not another way to say surrender to His saving grace?
