The Rule of St. Benedict (part 5)


St. Benedict's instructions regarding reverence at prayer:

"..[W]e present our pleas to God with the utmost humility and purity of devotion.  We realize that we will be heard for our pure and sorrowful hearts, not for the numbers of our spoken words.  Our prayer must be heartfelt and to the point  Only a divine inspiration should lengthen it."
