"During these days, therefore, we will add the usual measure of service something by way of private prayer and abstinence from food or drink...and look forward to Holy Easter with joy and spiritual longing."
(Rule of St.Benedict, Ch. 49 - The Observance of Lent)
“The radical gift of oneself to God, loved and served for Himself alone, listening to His Word, and a humble attentiveness to His presence in all human beings and in events, are the characteristics of this life; its sole aim is the search for God, lived out in Community.”
