It speaks through the courage in my chest, the dignity that stands unbent, the spirit that multiplies when it is given. Let the world measure its worth in dollars. I measure mine in the ways I endure, in the ways I speak when silence is demanded, in the ways I rise when I am cast down. I don’t need savings. I am the treasure ©️Annam M. Gordon”

In the face of a complex world with the twenty-four-hour workdays and constant motion, the Rule asks for a life that deals with a little bit of everything in proper measure: work, prayer, solitude, relationships. The Rule, in other words, is an antidote to excess and to human dwarfism. A proverb says, "Wherever there is excess, something is lacking." The Rule of Benedict mandates a measured life.”

“Benedictine conversion, then, is not an assertion of our strength or character. Benedictine spirituality is based on the simple acknowledgment that God will come to life before us and be reborn in us in unexpected ways day after day throughout our entire lives.
