Daily Reading from the Rule of St Benedict
CHAPTER 4: WHAT ARE THE TOOLS OF GOOD WORKS concluded
TO carry out God’s commands fully in deed every day. To love chastity. To hate nobody. Not to be jealous. Not to act out of envy. Not to be fond of contention. To fly from vainglory. To reverence the elders. To love the juniors. In the love of Christ to pray for our enemies. When there has been a quarrel, to make peace again before sunset. And never to lose hope in the mercy of God.
Here then are the tools of the spiritual craft. When they have been used by us steadily day and night, and have been handed in on the day of judgment, then the reward will be paid over to us by the Lord, which he himself has promised: ‘No eye has seen nor ear heard what God has prepared for those who love him’ (1 Cor. 2).
Now the workshop, where we are to work diligently at all these tasks, is the enclosure of the monastery and stability in the community.
