I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word,
John 17:20-21
so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me.
But as we progress in this way of life and in faith, we shall run on the path of God’s commandments, our hearts overflowing with the inexpressible delight of love.
Holy Rule of St. Benedict, Prologue
Idleness is the enemy of the soul; and therefore the brethren ought to be employed in manual labor at certain times, at others, in devout reading.
Holy Rule of St. Benedict, Ch. 48
