obedience
and humility... |

|
...Obedience and humility are like twins.
The former is more visible, the latter interior. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
...Obedience, like the Rupee, is being
devalued these days. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
...Obedience should be prompt and with
understanding, not literal or servile. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
...In my life-time,
I've seen the elements of 'human rights' creeping into obedience.
This is against the spirit of St. Benedict who stresses that it is to
God that obedience is given. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
...There is a
'relationship of obedience' with our brothers when we love them. This
mutual obedience is typical of Benedictine spirituality and is one of
the highest qualities in the good zeal of a monk. |
