A Rule of Life

These were the requirements for joining St. Brigid's Community.

1) to be under regular spiritual direction
2) that under the guidance of your spiritual director you will be writing your own Rule of Life following the pattern of Benedictine Spirituality
3) you will either pray with us in person or on your own for morning prayers or evening prayers each Tuesday
4) you will join us in the daily practice of reading The Benedictine Rule with commentary by Joan Chittister and
5) you will join us or some other community for weekly Eucharist.

Today I am starting on Number 2, writing the rule of life. The five community requirements are of course included.

At the moment, I've added to pray the rosary daily, read the Daily Lectionary, and to be grateful and humble.
