The Rule of Benedict: The Abbot (14/122)



10:47 PM Friday.

Today's reading is Chapter 2: The Qualities of the Abbot (6) – The Rule of Benedict, together with the equivalent sections in RB 1980 and Commentary for Benedictine Oblates, including "The Fatherhood of Christ" and "How the Abbot Exercises His Office" in Appendix 2 ("The Abbot") of RB 1980.

The image at top is Br. Robert James Magliula, OHC. He is the Superior (Abbot) of the Holy Cross Monastery. This Anglican Benedictine community of men in West Park, New York, is 66 miles south of me here in Albany. 

End 11:34 PM.
