Benedictine spirituality--a journey to the wholeness
that answers the emptiness in each of us.
that answers the emptiness in each of us.
Sr Joan Chittister
Take a moment and read Sr. Joan's commentary for today. If today is not November 9th, you will see another reading. But that's okay. Sr. Joan's commentary will breath a 21st century life into the sacred writings of St. Benedict.
I encourage you to begin reading Sr. Joan's commentary every morning as you arise to start a new day. Month by month, she will open your eyes to the wisdom of a 6th century Saint and rich wisdom of a contemporary monastic--Sister Joan Chittister. You will be richer for your reading.
Read meditatively. Begin by slowing your thoughts; bring a stillness to your mind. This stillness is not empty--it is full of presence--like the silence between the notes in sacred music. In that silence, your soul recognizes itself not as a separate flame but as part of the great fire.
