...because thorns of contention are likely to spring up...
Benedict reminds us that we need His help daily to curb our vices, not the least of which is the ever-present risk of animosity toward others. The reminder is a wonderful reflection of our call to live in peace with our brothers and sisters.
forgive us as we forgive
Sr. Joan builds on this theme reminding us of Benedict's call to never omit from our prayers our need for continual for blessings and our need for continual forgiveness...
... a sense of God's greatness and our dependence;
a sense of God's grandeur and our fragility.
And so it is that we are reminded of the role of repetition in our spiritual development.
