Benedict encourages the monastic to live a life of a continuous Lent.
For most of us, this would seem somewhat severe. However, on closer inspection, the life to which Benedict invites us may be well worth considering. For example, refusing to indulge evil habits; devoting ourselves to prayer; to reading; to compunction of heart and self-denial; needless talking; and idle jesting
What a blessing this would be for ourselves and others! We are capable with His help. Let us grow in His faith; listen to His voice; listen to His call; let us not be distracted! Let us follow His way!
