I would recommend reading a chapter a day or a portion of it since some chapters are longer than others. My recommendation echoes to significant voices:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
Christ present!
\nThe Christian announcement is that God became one of us and is present here,
\nand gathers us together into one body, and through this unity, His presence is
\nmade perceivable. This is the heart of the Benedictine<\/i> message of the
\nearliest times. Well, this also defines the entire message of our Movement,
\nand this is why we feel Benedictine history to be the history to which we
\nare closest<\/b>.<\/span><\/div>\n
~Monsignor Luigi Giussani, Founder of  Communion and
\nLiberation<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
Familiarity with the Word, which the Benedictine Rule<\/i> guarantees by
\nreserving much time for it in the daily schedule, will not fail to instill
\nserene trust, to cast aside false security and to root in the soul a vivid
\nsense of the total lordship of God. The monk is thus protected from convenient
\nor utilitarian interpretations of Scripture and brought to an ever deeper
\nawareness of human weakness, in which God’s power shines brightly.<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
