The Rule of Benedict: The Abbot (9/122)

4:52 PM Sunday.

Today's reading is Chapter 2: The Qualities of the Abbot (1) – The Rule of Benedict, together with the equivalent sections in RB 1980 and Commentary for Benedictine Oblates, including the beginning of Appendix 2 ("The Abbot") in RB 1980.

Today's listening is The Abbot in Benedict's Rule.

I leave off during contemplation of Spiritual Fatherhood in light of Appendix 2 (noted above) after a brief excursion into History of Asceticism in the Syrian Orient.

End 5:41 PM.
