“Regardless of our religion – whether we are Catholics or Evangelicals or Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist – the spiritual life challenges us to find balance. One of the reasons I was attracted to the Rule of Saint Benedict was because in ora et labora there is a prescription for balance. In the recitation of the Divine Office, we not only sanctify our time but we also set a pace for the whole day of prayer; work; prayer; work until – if we are good Benedictines (and I am not one) it all flows into a seamless whole.”
In a recent commentary, writer Elizabeth Scalia reflected on the importance of balance in our spiritual lives.
