Her latest book, Amazing Grace , already published in the United States will soon be published here, also by Lion Books. We are greatly honoured to be asked to host this event. The opportunity to hear Kathleen Norris read from her book, is one not to be missed, and we hope as many oblates as possible will come to hear and meet her on March 26. THE basis of St Benedict s spirituality is baptism. Living by St Benedict s Rule is to strive to be profoundly Christian.
Baptism demands conversion.
Conversion is a life time project, not a one off event. The Christian is a person who is striving always to change, to turn more and more towards God. One of the three Benedictine vows is Conversatio Morum , a vow to be always striving for change in one s life, always seeking for God, always striving for perfection. One of the chapters in the Rule where this is fleshed out is Chapter 4 The Tools of Good Works . It is a florilegium of scriptural texts, put together in such a way that they illuminate each other.
