Diffusions - Playing with Words: Benedict’s Little Rule for Beginners

With Tim Oberholzer

June 23, 2026
ZOOM
St. Benedict's "little rule written for beginners" invites us to grow in virtue through intentional living in the ordinariness of life. The text contains numerous themes to inspire and direct individuals and communities in the way of perfection. During these Zoom sessions, we will ponder the Rule of St. Benedict by "playing" with recurring words and themes.  Each month we will examine Benedict's weaving of a different word or theme through the Rule to gain an understanding of his intention and our application.
