Anselm Grun, OSB, famed Benedictine author and cellarer-supplies
manager-of his monastery at Munsterschwarzach, offers brief
reflections on aspects of the Rule of Benedict. He sketches the
life of Benedict and reflects on how Benedict's instructions enable
one to live constantly in the presence of God. Even the most
mundane objects are signs of the presence of God. It is not merely
that we focus our attention on God, but that we're aware that God
always focuses attention on us, loving and encouraging us in all
things. For example: he calls the cellarer to regard all utensils
and goods of the monastery as sacred vessels of the altar. Grun
also ponders how work is an aid to prayer and how the Benedictine
vow of stability is essential to building community. Silence and
the solitude that characterize the monastic are conditions for the
possibility of genuine community. Each chapter concludes with a
brief reflection on the state of contemporary society and how the
aspect of the Rule of Benedict treated in the chapter applies to
the needs of today.
