Chapter 2: Gifts needed by an abbot or abbess (paragraph 1)


Far from it, everything he or she commands or teaches should be like a leaven of the holiness that comes from God infused into the minds of their disciples. (From para. 1 of Ch. 2 of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry, OSB, 1997.)

May I think less of myself, and be more mindful of my influence on the well-being of others. May my own mind be transformed into the mind of Christ by the leaven of meditation.
