Chapter 5: Obedience

June 20, 2016 | The Rule of St Benedict

RB 5:17-19 –  ¹⁷ If a disciple obeys grudgingly and grumbles, not only aloud but also in her heart, ¹⁸ then, even though she carries out the order, her action will not be accepted with favour by God, who sees that she is grumbling in her heart. ¹⁹ She will have no reward for service of this kind; on the contrary, she will incur punishment for grumbling, unless she changes for the better and makes amends.
