This newsletter focuses on the practice of Obedience, a basic component in the life of someone who follows the Rule of St. Benedict . However, I suspect that as you read about various elements that make obedience alive for us as Benedictines it may be somewhat different from what you would expect. Quite often we think of Obedience as following (at times blindly) some one We are the else’s commands, acceding to another’s wishes even when we don’t want to follow Benedictine Sisters them. Some would even say that obedience means “to totally disregard one’s of Pittsburgh, own good judgment, and to accept unquestioningly the judgment of another”. continuing 1500 years Admittedly, the meaning of obedience is different at different times of our life. of seeking God in Children listen to their parents because parents are able to make decisions that are in the best interest of the child. The parent decides what is best for the child Community, to prevent instances where they would make choices that could be dangerous Prayer and unwise. and Ministry. The above understanding of obedience does not reflect the meaning as we know it from the Rule of St. Benedict . Obedience comes from two Latin words – “ob audire” – translated roughly “to listen to”, “to incline toward”, “to follow the BENEDICTINES is a publication of the direction of another”. Listening, hearing, trying to understand what another is Benedictine Sisters of Pittsburgh, PA for families, friends and benefactors saying is essential to the concept of Benedictine obedience. The phrase Benedict of the Community. uses which characterizes the true obedience of the monk is “to listen with the ear of the heart”. Editor: Sister Judith Ann Criner, OSB Editorial Board: St. Benedict invites his followers to ‘listen to’ one another – to the prioress, to Sisters Susanne Chenot, other sisters in the community, and to the Spirit who speaks within our heart. He Dolores Conley, calls us to dialogue with one another, to share our ideas and concerns. He advises Evelyn Dettling, us to ‘seek together’, so that we may know the direction we should take, and that Susan Merrie English, Michelle Farabaugh, we may make decisions that are for the good of others as well as for ourselves.

4 Monastic Women with Discerning Hearts
It hasn’t been long since the strains of the beloved Christmas Carol, “Do You Hear What I Hea r? ” rang through the rooms and halls of our homes, stores, malls, places of work.
It is indeed a beloved song encouraging us to “pray But the root of the word “obey” does not indicate or for peace, people everywhere…” You may think it even presume subservience. In its derivation, “to obey” strange, but the 6 word question, “do you hear what is “to listen or to hear”. I hear?”, can open up new vistas for every person on the practice of a life of obedience. Do You Hear What I Hear? St. Benedict begins his Rule of life with a simple verb: Listen! Without a doubt this singular verb can In early monasticism, obedience was about listening serve as the ground for every person for an entire life of together, discerning the movement of the Holy Spirit prayer and union with God and one another, for living in each individual and in the community. Obedience the challenge of community in family, civic endeavors for monastics was to act upon the word received, or religious community, for participating in service to to commit themselves to one another and to the those in need in so many ways, for challenging our communal project; respecting the wisdom of the everyday determination to convert our lives to Christ. elders and trusting the Spirit working in the young. To listen is the basis for obedience. Obedience is a Perhaps one of the scourges of our post-modern word in our post-modern world that for each person world is the glorification of self-determination, self- has varying layers of history, emotion and meaning. sufficiency, or self-actualization.

Obedience of this sort calls for mature adults rather than submissive minions.

2008 Monastic Discernment and Election of Prioress
By: Sister Evelyn Dettling, OSB
One of the most important responsibilities of a Benedictine Community is the election of the Abbot/ Prioress who according to the Rule of St. Benedict holds the place of Christ in the monastery. In Chapter 64 on the Election of the Abbot/Prioress, St. Benedict urges that the one chosen be selected by the whole community. The one elected must “arrange everything that the strong have something to yearn for and the weak nothing from which to run.” Chapter 72, The Good Zeal of the Monastic puts this responsibility in context: Sisters raise their hands in blessing the newly elected Prioress, Sr. Bernardine Hemberger, in the election of 1978. “This then is the good zeal which monastics must foster with fervent love. They should each try to be the first to show respect to the other, Prioress of Benet Hill Monastery in Colorado supporting with the greatest patience one Springs and Susan Quaintance from St. Scholastica another’s weaknesses, and earnestly competing Monastery in Chicago will assist us in formulating in obedience to one another. To other monastics direction statements to help the new prioress and they show the pure love of brothers/sisters; to her council during her 6 year term of office. The God, loving fear; to their Abbot/Prioress, formulation and acceptance of these statements is unfeigned and humble love. Let them prefer indeed a challenging exercise of listening to one nothing whatever to Christ, and may He bring another with the ear of the heart and responding us all together to everlasting life.” in the spirit of communal obedience.
