Today as we have reflected on the life of St Benedict I have thought about our own journey in which we are quick to want to escape to a safe place where we can find and worship God as he did in seeking a life of solitude.
But are we willing as he was to allow other people into our safe space and into the life that we have chosen for ourselves, are we willing to allow our experience of God to help others and let them in to our deep sanctuary as he was.
If he had kept this for himself he would have been long forgotten – but he was open to be used by others in their search for a spiritual life with meaning. May we like him be prepared to journey with others and share our sacred space to the glory of God.
May God bless you as you seek Him with all your heart and soul and devote yourself to a life of prayer, and action, to the glory of God!
