"How should we live in this house of God? We know that the way a
building is shaped also helps in determining the way those within
it live and relate. We are indeed formed by what we form. Qualities
such as integrity, hospitality, humanity and beauty in a place will
enable its dwellers to live lives in which such qualities are
evident. The way we understand who we are and how we live will be
reflected in our places and vice versa. Our places become bearers
of meaning and memory." --From Chapter 1In "Living in the House of
God," Margaret Malone draws on her study of and research on the
Rule of Saint Benedict to show the ways in which this ancient rule
can illuminate modern life. The broad gamut of topics this book
examines--from Benedictine life as sacrament to Augustine's
influence on Benedict to obedience and the art of listening, among
others--is itself a witness to the generous flexibility of the
Rule, as Benedict proposes a way of life that truly corresponds to
the deepest needs of the whole of human nature.
