What is this Benedictine Spirituality?

We meet every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month.  Silent meals occur once a month, when spiritual reading replaces conversation.  The following is the usual schedule for the meeting:       

6:30 PM-arrive 6:35-Eve. Prayer 7:00-The meal and dessert.             7:45-Bus. Meeting  8:00-Study      9:00-Close

July 11 is St. Benedict's feast day.  The Friday meeting nearest to this day is a silent meal with reading about St. Benedict.

The Benedictine Spirituality Group is based upon monastic rule in daily life as designed by St. Benedict.  While this rule was written for persons religious, many of the principles can still guide a person outside the abbey walls.  This goal is not easy, nor should it be.

Benedictines teach no creed or beliefs, just a well-proven way to approach God.
