As I've mentioned, I received a copy of The Glenstal Book of Prayer which follows the Benedictine Order. In the back of the book, it includes a few of the rules of the order. I thought there was wisdom in many of them and wanted to share them.
****************************
RB 3: Do everything with consultation and you will have no regrets when the deed is done.
RB 6: To speak and to teach, indeed, befits the master; to be silent and to listen becomes the disciple.
RB 7: A man is recognized as wise when his words are few.
RB 52: ...if...he wishes to pray more secretly by himself, let him in all simplicity go in and pray, not with a loud voice but with tears and an attentive heart.
RB 72: Let no one seek his own interests but those of his neighbour. Let them with purity offer the love of brotherhood. Let them fear God lovingly.
