Wisdom for All

The church remembers St. Benedict, the founder of Western Monasticism. His graced insight and wisdom exceeds the monastery. Benedictine monk and priest Eric Hollas, OSB, observed:

“Benedict reminds us that God is not absent from our world. God regularly appears in the poor and the sick, and in the faces of our family and friends. And perhaps God even shines forth in our own faces when we serve others.
   “When it comes to a balanced life, Benedict is equally pointed in his critique.”
