“The practice of prayer and work followed by Benedictine monks is a rhythm of both/and, a balancing. Of course, prayer can infuse all that we do, but “and” is the essential word. We must remember there is more to life than just one thing, just our worries, just our attachments.

Our longing for spirit, for peace and beauty, is the antidote to worry and fear. A practice of balance and moderation heals us. Joan Chittister sums it up, “Benedictine harmony and balance and awareness call us all to life drunk deeply…Be sure that one part of your life is not warring against the other.”

Each day has enough. Each day is enough. Let it be. Cultivate an awareness of the beauty and small graces that are all around you.”

“In this life no one can fulfill his longing, nor can any creature satisfy man’s desire. Only God satisfies, he infinitely exceeds all other pleasures. That is why man can rest in nothing but God.” -St. Thomas Aquinas

“Violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem: it merely creates new and more complicated ones. Violence is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding: it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends up defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.”

Martin Luther King Jr., Nobel Lecture, December 11, 1964
