How many porters did St. Benedict have wander off before he wrote the 66th chapter of his Rule?

"At the gate of the monastery, let there be stationed a wise old man who knows how to give and receive a message—someone whose advanced age keeps him from wandering about."

Today is the Solemnity of Saint Benedict, the commemoration of his death. Happy Feast Day to all Benedictine Religious, Oblates, friends, and any others who feel drawn to a Benedictine theology or way of life.

Tomorrow is looking to be a busy but fun day. In the morning, I picked up an extra #volunteer shift serving breakfast to my #unhoused friends. After that I have to drive 45 minutes to see my #SpiritualDirector. Then in the evening, I have my first #Oblate #discernment class. I'm also hoping to stop at one of my favorite diners that is near my spiritual director for a breakfast burrito that I've been obsessing about since they posted a couple pics on social media a few weeks ago.
I start a 6 week online discussion/discernment class with a handful of other people who are discerning becoming an #Oblate at the Benedictine monastery where I am enrolled in my #SpiritualDirector formation program. It's led by two current Oblates and it's the beginning of the formal discernment process and I'm really excited to start and see where it goes.

I started some cool things in 2022, & I'm looking forward to seeing how they develop in 2023.

- I started my Spiritual Director Formation program w/ the #Benedictine Sisters
- I also started the conversation about becoming an #Oblate w/ those Benedictine Sisters
- I started #volunteering with a ministry that serves people experiencing #houselessness & I really enjoy the people I serve and w/ whom I serve.

Looking forward to seeing how these help me continue to develop as a kind & loving human.
