All in Discipleship
You may have lost or never known the beauty, splendor, and mystery of pursuing God in a community of faith, and you've stopped insisting your way toward the experience of following Jesus.
If we were to pursue the monastic life, what would Benedict suggest? Life as a cenobite, of course!

“Every good and perfect gift” is from the hand of God. Once I grasp this truth, I not only want to thank God, I am glad he has commanded me to do so!
There are a great many people today who are a bit confused by who God is.

Each of these different slants on the spiritual life still exists today, even if in a bit different expression than during Benedict’s time.
