the feast of st. benedict
So last friday - 7/11/08 was the “Feast of Saint Benedict.” I didn’t take time to call attention to this last Friday… 
and no I wasn’t too busy acquiring my free Slurpee from 7-11 [I was unpacking and “catching up” from a return from vacation]. But I did want to highlight this great hero of The Church. A true reformist who availed his life completely to God and now 1500 years later we are still learning from his writings, his life, and those who followed in his footsteps. Can anyone say, “legacy.”
Over the past few years I have become increasingly attracted to Benedict’s writings and his challenge to live a counter-cultural life. Benedict has become a mentor from afar and he has taken me on quite a ride.
I have posted on Benedict in the past - you can follow the two links below on some of my thoughts on Benedict of Nursia.
ora et labora.
