In the Dutch pen, I wondered whether it would help to come up with a new idea. But it seems to have come up by hook or by crook, all of those connections don't matter. We look up to each day to come up with a new idea, and the three of us have a choice pattern. One is to be able to acknowledge the pen's origin, of course, and the other is to want to showcase it. One is to be the most formidable, for the glory of his name, the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen. Greetings, everyone. In this address, we will reflect on the peace at home through our discountable meetings with others that we have a special friendship with, i.e., our brethren in community. we should seek ways peacefully to resolve or retrieve those issues that arise in community situations.

[01:01]

Nonetheless, loving that charity will enable you to live well or to die well. Let me begin with a story. A farm boy accidentally overturned his wagon load of corn. The farmer, who looked in his eye, heard the noise of the wagon overturning. Hey, British! the farmer yelled. Forget your troubles. Come with us. Then I'll help you get the wagon up. I've been waiting months or two for these farmers, but I don't think Carl would like me to. Oh, come on, the farmer insisted. Well, okay, the boy finally agreed and headed But Pa won't notice it. After a calming drill, we left the house to the coast. I feel a lot better now, because I know that Pa is going to be real upset. Don't be foolish, the neighbour said with a smile.

By the way, where is he? Until the weekend. There are issues in communities. There are awkward fecals, television calls and opposing views for hours. There is tension that comes between residents who want to change things, and those who want things to remain as they are, but if they decide it, then other residents will inevitably satisfy it, no matter what we do, so they might as well leave things as they are. There are the endless handful of meetings, trying to decide the next thing or whether to go back to what we used to do in the past. Different views between those who feel that we ought to relate to the world, so we need to modernize, but for others this means not modernization, but secularization, bringing the world into the monastery wherever that may be. For some, they believe they can change the world to leave some of the values of the world behind.

[03:14]

They want pure, religious life. As little kids, you can find what you want in not partaking out there in the world. But the only place that I can live the authentic religious life is right here, in the monastery. They argue, if you are so unhappy with our office, our habits, our rules, our timetables, our traditional ways of doing things, why did you come to this monastery? You can probably substitute another unhappiness to get the principle I'm saying. The difficulty is, out there in the world, If there is unhappiness, you can change jobs, you can change church, or you can move away entirely. What do we do in a community where we are down to each other in life? We usually try to find a compromise. A repertory of her illegals and a partner in a big wolf's bone are walking through a park on their way to lunch, when they find an antique oil lamp.

[04:30]

They rub it, and a genie comes out in a pot of smoke. The genie says, I've usually only grasped three wishes, but I'll give each of you just one. Meet her, meet her, Mr. Secretary. I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a seaboat, without a care in the world. Oops, she's gone. Me next, me next, Mr. Parade Eagle. I want to be in Hawaii, laughing on the beach, with an egg in her fry and a king of tomatoes. He's gone. You're next, the junior sixth to the partner of the gold challenge. The partner says, I want those two back in the office right after lunch. Why did you finally come to my house? The reality is that when you compromise between two of those individuals, one between everybody, no one is pleased.

[05:34]

Both parties go away unhappily, and you end up watering things down to the lowest common denomination, so that even those caught between the two factions in the middle grounds end up denormalized, and that becomes the unbearable for all, because of the distraction. Why did we come to community? For our own way, or to love and serve Jesus? He did not understand that the religious life is a life of sacrifice, that our spiritual path will involve the trials of all perversion and the pitfalls of our desires. No matter how we might sanitize it by saying that we are wanting the best good of our community, His decisions were not perfect. Many of our likes and dislikes have their basis in our own fears, pride, and envy.

[06:39]

Someone once said, the greatest benefit of a doctor is not just to share your riches, but to reveal to him his own. So then I said, it's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see. And there was a rabbi once who said, not if not minds, it sees more, not less. But because it sees more, it is willing to see less. What we see, our true opinion as others, tend to come out often in trouble or illiteracy. There was an incident that happened in our former community many years ago, where a sister got close fed up with another sister during office, being lousy, at her own pace, and supposedly ignoring or being oblivious to the presentry.

[07:41]

So the annoyed sister, who was standing in a corner above her, simply took her vest before her, and kicked the sister in front of her on the head, in the middle of office. Apparently, everyone was so astonished at this is what we normally do on such occasions. Pretend that there's nothing on the mix, except going out of the office without a cause, as if nothing had happened. And there are plenty of students that don't act inefficiently. I know there's opportunity, but two of the presidents do not communicate except efficiently in terms of work. and the original argument took place more than 30 years before about whether or not to open the window. In most monasteries there are presidents who believe the monastery is a church and others who believe it is a greenhouse. I have watched the visitor come into the room and fling the windows wide open.

[08:48]

In a few seconds later another visitor comes in Turn to the other there, which is just a good place, and she goes straight to the open window and shuts it. There is no conduit that will certify those opinions. We did more wily, yet without any misunderstanding between us. It is time now to move out of the halls we have dug ourselves in, all the pitfalls we have fallen so long into, perhaps we've even fallen into, or jumped into, from entrenched positions. And someone once said, no one can go back and make a brand new start, as anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. We now need to nip that out. Only once anger, resentment and hurt only gives you ten muscles, a headache, and a sore jaw from chasing your teeth.

[09:54]

A good laugh gives you back the laughter and lightness of life. The question is, what could be done without disagreement? Modern experience is forced in this way. We'll see then how it hurts to think that one should talk magnificently about nothing that hardly relates to the comprehensive affection of being friends of all mankind. This is not the love then, it is but the talk of love. The real love of man must depend on capture. Here is Godot. No love must depend on practice, and therefore must begin by exercising itself on our friends, by submitting to their wishes, though contrary to our own, by bearing with their infirmities, by overcoming their occasional waywardness by kindness, by dwelling on their excellences.

[11:07]

But it seems that we store in our hearts that root of tragedy which goes more at first, laid like the mustard seeds, at last, even overshadowed the earth. And what we do today means putting our nature to ourselves. While for our neighbouring there is no room for self-love, If we are astray, getting back on the right path of the spirit, getting back onto the right path of the spiritual path will involve a change of direction. There is a saying, when our back is towards God, any direction is wrong. None of it matters how peace and joy are the keynotes of the Christian characters. Moon is no Christian chamber.

[12:08]

That intelligence is not real to have not loved in it. That self-sacrificement is not acceptable which is not strengthened by faith and shieldedness. We must live in sunshine, be the rain's shadow. We must live in God's presence. We must not shut ourselves up in our own hearts. For Christian are the deep, quiet divinities which the world sees not. He is the presence of the eternal comforter in which we thrive. He can lay his head on his pillow at night, and owning God's side in his overflowing heart, which he wants nothing, that God should bring all things to him, and that nothing is not this which God could give him. God inspires. and we must give of ourselves for the sake of others. Giving Payments has won the lottery and has split the money into three equal parts because all of them wanted to give some of their money to the church.

[13:21]

But rather than that today, I'm going to draw a circle on the ground and throw all my money up in the air Whatever lands in the circle, I will shoot, and the rest I will give to the church. The second man said, I will throw my money in the air. If it lands heads up, I will give it to the church, and the rest I will give to myself. The third man said, I will throw all of my money up in the air. The money that stays up in the air, I will give to the church. And the one that falls to the ground, I will shoot for myself. The rulers for Benedictus here, are when I may hatred your jealousy of anyone, and do nothing out of envy. Do not love poverty, shun anger, pray to your enemy out of love for climate.

[14:24]

If you are to dispute with someone, make peace with him before the sun goes down. So they're told to do their due trials, to make up for their shortcomings. But what I will do with the politician that dictated the end.
