Reading and Writing a Rule of Life
Wednesday at 8:00 pm, March 9, 16, 23 & 30
Zoom
A rule of life is a commitment to live your life in a particular way. It is meant to be crafted with prayer and discernment, in partnership with God, as you consider the way God made you and the values He has inscribed upon your heart.
Once written, it serves as a tool that can help you make decisions for your life and determine how best to order your days.
The first example of a Christian rule of life came from the Desert Fathers, a monastic community of mystics living in Egypt around the third century AD. The most well-known rule is the rule of St. Benedict, written fifteen hundred years ago, which was created to help his community of monks translate their faith into the habits and rhythms of their shared daily life. His famous rule has inspired many communities and individuals to develop their own rules with a similar intention.”
Parishioners will be invited to develop a rule of life for Lent and beyond that will help them focus on growing spiritually. This study will take place on Wednesday nights on Zoom.
