Essay:

Read the article, The Story of Benedict by Sr. Marielle Frigge.

Prompt: As Sr. Marielle says in the article, the most important “work” for Benedictines and for all Christians is to seek God. “St. Benedict says repeatedly that ‘the divine presence is everywhere’….Anyone who listens attentively can perceive this divine presence, even in the most mundane and unlikely circumstances.”

After reading the article, first, reflect on what St. Benedict says about where – various places, situations, people, etc. – we can experience God’s presence; and how – what we need to do to find God in various circumstances in our lives. Then, describe your thoughts and reflections in an essay, including where and how you seek God and experience God’s presence in your life. Use specific examples as much as possible.
