St. Benedict exhorts the disciple not only to be silent, but also to listen. For keeping watch over our speech, and at times even refraining from it, preserves us from vice; but it is in listening that we attain grace.
Great wisdom from Saint Benedict. Being silent and guarding the tongue is so important and can be difficult. Thank you for writing this and reminding us to listen and be silent, especially in the midst of our mundane tasks.

Difficult, indeed.
Glad to have you reading along, Dolores! I hope some of my other writing can be of some benefit to you as well.
