Voice of the Day: 'Let them prefer nothing to Christ."

Let them vie in giving one another honor. Let them patiently bear everyone’s weaknesses of body and behavior. Let them compete in obeying one another.... Let them prefer nothing to Christ. May Christ lead us together to eternal life.

- Rule of Benedict

Quoted in Essential Monastic Wisdom: Writings on the Contemplative Life by Hugh Feiss.
