Perspective on Awareness

The Prologue to The Rule of Benedict begins with a call for the seeker to “Listen carefully” and reminds us how life is a teacher of universal truths. While we take a breath to find focus, we seek to be aware of God’s presence and of that which we are being called to do. Once we open our minds and our hearts to a wisdom beyond our own, we can be guided to make a thoughtful decision and put it into action.
