I love the balance of Saint Benedict of Nursia in his rule. He acknowledges here human frailty of both strength and perception. He makes great allowance for the Divine Grace of God to manifest itself in the obedient life of a humble believer. I believe this is a reason that the RSB has stood for fifteen centuries 📗 as a template for, "How can Christians live out our faith, together?" ⏳🏔️😌♥️
Q: I use the Abbott Justin McCann parallel Latin / English for years. Do you have any critique or experience with that translation?
Thanks for your comment, I agree entirely. There's a good reason Pope Benedict XVI named him patron of Europe - his monks were absolutely crucial to the evangelisation of Europe. The Justin McCann translation is good, it's just a little dated now in its language. Have a blessed day!
....our ROCOR ☦️ ⛪ Parish in OKC is dedicated to Saint Benedict. 🌎 🇺🇲
I think Cyril ✍🏼 and Methodius are co-Patrons with Benedict, Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, Bridget of Sweden and ⚜️ Catherine of Sienna. (good company from the Great Cloud indeed) ❤️
Well, on age, me too! Yes, I know there are other patrons of Europe but couldn't remember the full list. Since I'm vain, I didn't like to advertise my ignorance. 😳

I'm old,
I suppose I'm 'dated' too...
