And we end this conversion with the personal claims of such a judgment and a punishment. Now, for us it's very important to, during the period of the 19th, the view of our old vow, conversion of morals, to think about it. It was not easy to someone who could never So anything is of the fact that I would have a mathematical formula that would put it all down neatly, at least, and all the other things in it. The other part is that human beings, we have our inner determination of our certain
[01:13]
We are part, we are not. Apple and vase. We can make, we call it sometimes grooves, but we work. We have a lot of things that simply make up what we call a car. And we know very well that these things cannot be here. Simply shake it off, and they almost did it with a simple resolution, which was the world medicals. But this doesn't do that. None of this happens, does it? You know, otherwise, the place was still lit with our own natural, what we call, the old sin. So there are other things that they carry around with them to play in their nature.
[02:20]
And certainly, the prophet doesn't want to deny that, but he wants to That's the real rest that we are. That's the right that we are in our own personal freedom. It's just that you make us put in this way, and that's the possibility of always coming home again, because of the rest of the city. So, and that is sort of how we are, but that's not what we realize. We have to deal with these two chapters. The day X, we may seem to have been always the same, but which we carry from day to day. And the other one that is always new, that is the day of God's grace.
[03:21]
In the night of God's grace, the power of God Of course, that works in us to do the just thing. So there are two things that I want to recommend, especially in the community line of truth. It is one thing which considers the individual. The individual realizes how their deterrence, how deterrence they feel, by nature, its natural inclination with time. How does he deal with this? In the light of that omnipotent local strength? By willingly constantly entering into that willingness to be shown, not somewhere on a staircase, but that really completely down into its roots, where the ship then went.
[04:37]
That was always the That's on the powerful image. This very idea of spiritual readiness is not there. And also, conversion, when it breaks the conversion, it's cannot have its full effect. Then, on the other hand, on the properly communion, on the part of the brethren, on the part of the superiors, meeting these deities, great good leaders of the community. To them, it should make the same light with the message. to be very careful not to attempt to lock up the confident robber in the prison of his natural determination, his natural determination.
[05:48]
But while recognizing, of course, they're not closing their minds, they should have the second one better. It's anyway that deep in our brain, the way we eat one another, we are often so close to Jackson, deep do we eat, in such a way that our meeting the other one, it conveys to him, The assurance that we can lead in our way, our faith, our spirit, our new life, our resurrection, in the other. All has gone meeting by Christ God with suspicion, They have a deeply pessimistic attitude, which is immediately virtually sinless, but in which they don't have to push the war against natural protection instead of retaining an alien to be the ultimate true strength of God's will.
[07:12]
So community life, the good man has talked about that in the past. It is not only day by day under this model. Now I believe on the part of the nation, as great as on the part of the other communities in our nations, that that is not merely created and the new creature will be completely stopped. And they get stuck in the hopelessness of natural character limitation. And then, actually, the monastery is not a school anymore. Any possibility for a conversion of one's spirit, possible only if they really want a time of charity and of sympathy, compassion, is bad news to me.
[08:24]
Let me be aware of that in our wish to wedded and wedded she doesn't mean that one should live. A fairer answer that is the truth. But it means mostly that in meeting one another, the person who is the only teacher is the light of that queen. that the power of reflection, dwelling opposite to us, that anyone takes us out of the chain of destiny, that of sin-worship, that leads us into the freedom of personal responsibility, that we have to be honest with one's own power, is a decisive thing. It's dangerous.
[09:51]
It's dangerous. It's dangerous. It's dangerous. Good morning. [...] Some of these steps have really caused a lot of people to sit down and think about this work.
[10:54]
And it is at the end of the commentary that I want you to go through, and the rule is in the chapter. It might be useful for you to translate that. But I mean, there is a days in, um, in conference that we may have gone away, but we are in the lineage of man in the pool of salvation. And so, which, I mean, we have spoken about it years and years ago, but then clearly that what made it keep those things about them had been mentioning it for a long time, but they need twice to show us the idea that the angel man, first of all, the monk, the saint, by the bad way which he did, that means he did not just juxtapose two other people,
[12:10]
but he lives with us. And our living with other people is, for that, one of the most indispensable ways to become a true man. So, that being said, by the way, it points me out to the fact that this concept of the monk and the monk as a self might have been open They have a cool view. Mother Earth's a cool man. You can be growing into this coolness in a new society. And that we are all involved in this today in church. The idea of spirituality, the idea that the second Adam, the It's a leading image of the perfect full man, since the Holy Spirit is so full of us.
[13:16]
And it's God that brought him to the church in order, in that way, to build what? The body of the sacred man. Therefore, we are all members of the Holy Spirit. as is our purpose to let the poor man and lady, the church, church as a whole. So therefore that is of course a nice theory, but practically it means that we must prepare ourselves and we must develop in us the new image of man as Christ the Lord through baptism as light. form in our souls through the community of unity God, yet one with the one with the unity of the Holy Spirit. That is aware of the coming of the man. And that is true as an essential, that's certain, that the
[14:24]
that the whole of everything has to say that we know of the life's ability to know of, to say, historically complex. That is what this picture is. But that is really a second concern. We take this whole complex aspect, the rule of the bed, we take the dialogue to know that there is an image that I'm able to say to you. We, the world, will continue to try to come to an approach really independent. And I don't think that this fact has been spoiled by the discovery of the uncertainty about the way that I exist and the relation of the way that I speak to the world of Satanism. Because I don't even today want to compare the two. The lonely one is first and the sick one is second.
[15:31]
You see that it would be second. It still would show clearly in comparison to. It would show clearly the man because of the choice. The choice that he had made. What he took and what he made went out of the way to the rest. And there is no doubt that he is in the time of this and the same time he will mature. But actually, he matured in his space of being. Saint Benedict of London was reading in his day to go to somewhere to find the time of the definition of nom. Because that is what we are searching for, you all know, we are invited to join in the search. What is contemplative life? What is monastic life, contemplative life? How do we define renown?
[16:34]
How can you deal with things that you are not getting into? You need to come and go. It doesn't work. But it does work. And put it into a kind of iron glass and open. Obviously, which is my food. We did do the monastic thing. But there is the idea of the monastic life of the Muslim world, and we see that great emphasis also today in opposition to certain activistic trends in monastic life. We see that there is a reaction in monastic life, and there is the full-blown saying, light, air. And then there is the politics, the content, continue the union with God, without our caverns, until I won't ever be able, anyway, to attend to the definition of verification of his promise, and not what I've said.
[17:46]
Extemporaneously, therefore, it's not meant to be a different solution. But if you read the rule of St. Benedict, you ask, now where is there the sincere definition of love? On the back of the wall, said two statues of him, occurred to me in connection with the end. In that, St. Benedict says, believe, the light will enter the life of the world. should be a constant lecture of service. Maybe we have some, this is the vision. But then, if I look at the reality, I have to say that not everybody, the great, you know, speaker of the church, Christian, that not everyone has that good to be able to do this.
[18:51]
which is, of course, in theory, again extremely significant. You might ask that, but I read this Christ in vision books. What is the, what is the state of it? Well, that's the job, the constant observance of it. To what end and what does it mean? It's, of course, a conversion. This, what is the next season? Is that, is that the end? What did what the ancients called the deducting. So, said the pastor, often we spoke about the rule of St. Benedict's and what he set up for celibates is written for that state of the spiritual honesty which we call the purgatory. This can stay in the stage of conversion. What we call Vita Activa, that means the battle with Christ.
[20:02]
What is being not in the Christian opposed to the to the dwelling, the constant dwelling in the tent of the king. Both the stone is able to dwell in the tent of the king, and they have this place constant. But what is the stone of the soldier? Well, that's a meeting or a guest. who renounces Corkley's voluntarios, and always making same weird direction and tendencies at it. There, through the fading of obedience, returns to war, who beings live in slow dissonance. That, of course, will lead to the situation. And that's therefore what the monk makes his provision.
[21:03]
And that's his provision. To fight this battle against the copious movement. And that is not to be absolutely legalism. That... He doesn't say anything about contemplation. [...] out of our own imagination.
[22:05]
The very thing that was his first goal that is brought to the Dutch and the people is written as a school of the devices. And, of course, on the other hand, also believed that the way he came to Staten Island, that is the goal. But this goal went somewhere else. This power at least as contemplation as idea, as a psychological, as supernatural state is concerned, that it's infused as a brain. One cannot in that way make it. And one cannot force it. And I think that is what's in the name of some way Was a great big boss. The fact we can see from watch as they're really happy to throw the protein.
[23:10]
And a big thanks for being said. Smart to do. Leave the book. Don't pay. You don't understand. But we're good. To be united. Not to have been. But we got contented. But we don't think that this nation would want it. He realized that there were a few in the land, and the human were acting. He also realized that in the right next to him is the major of the land. Meek, rock, roll, wave, you know, everybody gives a kick. Everybody was interested in the only thing they could do to be good, that they did that. But they didn't want to act.
[24:11]
They wanted, I don't think they wanted so much now, they wanted the same. To kind of give their place and kind of renew it. They went and reached out, but they were not thinking yet. They're simply not able to have a talk. Why? Well, probably because they want me so damn sick, or too damn sick to be an isolation to them, that to that one man over to me, that I should not speak with you at all. Too much for your sick in your own womb. And therefore, I'm willing even to, to wear that act under a The rule is the law of the good master. And it's a cross-rebellion, that's a good one, for the good man's shop. The rule of simplicity may be a good one, and very well understood, but such a bad one, because there is a corporate experience that's
[25:21]
Always the same problem, that people jump to be brought up immediately, but want to jump to the last day, or continue life, more properly, not considering the steps, And that any confusion, any cry, any state in which nature is in revenge, and why they go away from all kinds of wild places, sometimes they get absolutely, sometimes on ridiculous lengths, they get from the Easter. So the whole sin will not That kind of shaking should constrain my fraternal chagrin, but simply exposes me in first and first over to violent kind of attempts to suppress me.
[26:31]
That comes upon me, and deep behind it there is a joke, and it's a very innocent, who may be indifferent, and out of it is good. And there is another mind that they challenge to like more. Then comes a man, I'd say, that wants to be in the corner of the bar community. the movement, the flow, not the rhythm. He doesn't think about contemplation in this direction, no. I think it's the global charismatism, the global charismatism of the person. Postecting the bottom of the community, very good products, no doubt, man's eyes open, and in the end, you know, they begin to eat up on it. So there is definitely, again, I'm not saying anything wrong. Our particular direction for discipline is that each day you have to see very threatening content of life, a nasty life, also in this country, absolutely deadly.
[27:44]
something that was easily developed simply, and the workings of nature, step by step, the organic workings of nature, the process of maturing, and the possibilities of maturing. And to my mind, one thing that St. Benedict gives The balance and fact that he understands the human nature, that he walks towards the equity, the place where the world really is able to mature, and where then the spirit, because of him, understood very heavily. And outside of the world, there are even children who say that actually, that should not still be said. May I even be able to tell it? It means, it means both. So that way, the balance, it makes the ruler of the common law in some way geared to the beauty, yield, of the common law.
[28:52]
He's not made to argue. But I think this one can see from all areas what we're concerned about in all things concerning whom and whatever is connected. It's always this thing that the rule should serve to give rules for development, not to stop, not to suppress. I think that any kind of vows, I mean, it's a kind of question, you see, how vows are made, because they have this kind of chronological statement, which would take down one for the rest of one's life, to a certain routine, and that's, I think, that's a question. As far as I can see in the book of St. Benedict, it is the case. But that is the deal of many of them.
[29:56]
It is that they live, they die, and nothing is invented. makes it quite easy, certainly, that those who enter into this school of service should learn from the mistakes that are being made in the temple field of the Master. In part, and quite impressive, but about it, no one should put them on the stallion, but really on that platform, line, step after step. kind of raw world that we see in this verse. Before us, there's something that gives the way of ascending and reaching heaven. It's a step-by-step effect on which he then is living. That is, when back to my mind, it's the beauty of it.
[31:02]
And you all can say, to the invasion of the loving heart. And just to say, over and over and over, to you, to that, and more and more. I think we've seen it more than just him. One step up, you know, it's always a double number. One step down, we are all invading, and we need to stop. It's our parents. He didn't let me come up without a step. He didn't stay with the daddy. I would say spiritually, it must be. That makes room for the individual soul. No one must be invulnerable. So, it gives to everyone the feeling that he is now in his place, probably out of contemplation.
[32:09]
That's the truth. What is the whole purpose of our personal life? And it's not even related to the trial. It's not what is in my mind, but it's not what is in flesh. You don't know. And if you don't listen, it's kind of logical. I'm here to put this service at the end of this long road. The deal that I'm doing, of course, means that I will work with the desire for this thing. On top of that, I'm going to go in all the way to the step-by-step. And basically, how I'm going to do it, through obedience, to free and own hope in the holy voluntad. Now, it's well invited that our state will be best to get them somewhere else.
[33:13]
For that what needs the teacher and what needs the pastor. Those two ought to be into a way that it is. That our state will be fast to work To God, who is great, give up hope. We need to be the greatest human beings to do what we need in our nation, not the world. This is a very strong one. Winston told people that, you know, that it's fun on those days in which they get of which that's the cause of the Church to the feelings of salvation, mystery, man, God, and world, is so evident in its comprehensive and synthetic nature, putting all things together.
[34:15]
And this is the day on which, traditionally, the tradition of saving the Church carries in the course of the centuries. puts all things together, the creation process it considers in the introduction of the Church, the first day of creation, and the day of salvation on which they live. Temptation, the place in which there could be the silence to work, take from the fruits of the tree of knowledge a good deal. And that is the year, the day of which, when our waiting pain will get a time of hope, the year Why did Shakespeare, the brother, marry St. Joseph to an intimate union? with the human race, with the church, with its body, it takes over.
[35:23]
And this is also the very end in which Tom and Laura die, in which we see the work that he started with the moment of income. He became a man and not what to die of. And I don't want to put my response in that way to leaders who have to tell what you noticed yesterday. Because if ever there is still a vestige in the mythology that we read yesterday, that this today is also the day of sin, this is the day of the one who died for the Lord, it's because today we shall be with him. So it's the beginning of creation. It is the beginning of redemption, and it is the beginning of a new world.
[36:26]
So we can feel that also in today's epistle. It lets you listen to what's the next topic, and that's very important. What about the waters that meet each other? There is no version that shall conceive, and that shall bring separate form. It is a child that may not be stylus, but we have sent us a translation of this person, and his name is one. God with us, we could not forget the way to get God now.
[37:32]
It is that then God has come in a one acceptance and he shall meet with us in the translation and read the dialogue for God. But not food, but way up to the time when he shall distinguish between good and evil. Now, what's the matter? The interpretation of this verb seems to be a context of the seventh chapter. It's currently on the series of thoughts out in the way of life of somebody who lives in an ordinary and the personal work cannot be continued and because of wars and we need to accept chapters the bad powerful wars the syrian war
[38:46]
But this whole prophecy meant that there was legacy. And the few people that got over there, they did what the wild beasts could do. And what we get from the little cattle that has lived, well, they do so. It feels now that Patrice is distraught. So it's indeed a connection here, I said, not on sex. Absolutely always the case for this connection. Here, who would have won? Who would have won? Who would have won themselves? from the public ethics of our connection, our consequence on the refusal of us as the king of the royal family to receive the son, the redemptive son, accept your identity as a virgin.
[39:47]
Virgin is also the figure of faith. And faith, which is faith in redemption, faith in your work, the constant God, he sends from God. In opposition to God, he punishes the power of his love, which unmasks Christ, to save the consummate hostages. He refuses. They have entered into this covenant that shall, I say, stop us to him, and that is best put in the virgin conceit, and whencefore be a man, and that they are out of his sin. Such thoughts he gives, and this way is important, up to the time when he establishes what would be good for the king, and that the king will give us good mark, In the context of the prophecy of Isaiah, and then also some literature of today, given the capital of this 25th March, we ate the yoke of antiquity and Easter fruit there.
[41:01]
In the yoke, it said that we have antiquity because there is spring. That is to be a to choose the good and to refuse the bad. The Lord did that when he accepted me on the tree of the cross, which is the counterpart of the tree of the knowledge of what evil did. Many children on this street will die, and the goodwill will come through this debt. At that moment, he refused to bear it and chose to do it. From the half-righted, then the debt of the lost will cost. There is the moment of triumph in times to which obedience to the God who produced the evil form becomes the empire of sin.
[42:06]
That evil, it shows the good, and good causes the powerless world, and is the paradise, that being of which he says today, you shall be with me in paradise. So it's in that way that we could, in triumvirate, give this approach of the book. But we aren't. We just need the English connection as absolute. To the special water straightening, this boy was a gran that was up, and her husband curled him wide on the end, and then he untold. up to the time my team that excuses the world and abuses the people seems to me that that is also a new awakening of the process is and should be soon in connection with the beginning of this so that happened
[43:16]
beautiful, contemplative, really contemplative synthesis to the whole mystery of creation, the answer of which is not limited. It is the works of Black Eyed Peas, the Annunciation of the Black Eyed Peas, And all of us that keep the lamp on in our hearts are weary, and we can be sure that they're not so. In us, the devil cries, the strong girl is gone. But to that reason, we'll wait a minute, so that I shall be able to speak to you. But wait a minute.
