“Be steadfast and persevering” 1 Corinthians 15:58
September sees the start of the new school year and we are thrilled to welcome the students back to the campus of our neighbors, the College of Saint Benedict.
Starting the school year is a time when many of us feel reinvigorated and determined to approach life with a positive attitude. The quote from 1 Corinthians reminds us that it isn’t enough simply to begin; we also have to commit to following through. For Benedictines, seeking God through a life of prayer and work is the call to which we committed at the time of our profession. September is a time to check on how we are doing in following through on that call. What commitment in your life does God ask you to consider?

Daily Meditation for Sept. 18, 2018
/in Daily Meditations /by Mary JackleDid you ever realize that in some ways, complaining was the opposite of being grateful? Because Mr. Jenkins was tired of his seventh grade class constantly complaining, rather than complain about it himself, he made a game of it. He ordered bracelets for his 24 students and told them to put the bracelet on the wrist they chose to be their home base. Each time students complained, they had to move the bracelet to the other wrist—their opponent—and award the opponent wrist a point. The only way students could move their bracelet back to home base was by saying or at least thinking something positive. Each evening before they went home, the students tallied their scores for the day. After 21 days, all the students who had more points than their opponent wrist were given an hour of free time to do things they enjoyed. The result: most students became more grateful.
