This new book by Sister Aquinata Boeckmann discusses the Prologue
and chapters 1, 2, and 3 of the Rule of St. Benedict. In a lectio
regulae she plumbs the depths of Benedict's vision. Listen, the
first word of the Prologue, is a keyword that describes the main
stance of the individual monastic, the superior, and the entire
community. Listening to the Scriptures and in them to Christ guides
individuals and the community on how to "run on the way of God's
commandments" toward the goal of communal life in and with Christ.
The first three chapters of the Rule concretize the principles of
this communal spirituality of listening: the importance of a rule
and a pastor for maintaining the community's attentiveness to life;
the superior's responsibility to listen to individuals within the
community; and the mutual listening between leader and community
members, regardless of their age. As in her earlier books Sister
Aquinata proves to be a true guide into the spirit of Benedict's
Rule, which provides sound principles for listening in common in a
community of life.
