Jh Jaculhf The foregoing pages show that, with the exception of our four lay teachers, the Faculty is composed of Benedictine Monks. Being Monks, these teachers have certain specific H ideals, aims, and goals which they try to impart to the students. St. Benedict founded his monastery for a group of men who were striving to seek God in a more perfect manner, and he called his monastery a house of the Lord’s service.” In the opening words of his Holy Rule, Benedict laid down the central principle for this seeking: Listen, O my son, to the precepts of thy master, and incline the ear of thy heart.. . to the admonitions of thy Father, that by the toil of obedience thou mayst return to him from whom by the sloth of disobedience thou hast gone astray.” The obedience that St. Benedict here speaks of is to be given to one’s own Abbot. The Abbot in a Benedic- tine monastery is not only a superior but is Christ’s representative and takes His place in the monastery.He is a Father to his Monks and points out with all dis- patch the proper means to seek God. The Monks form a family — they even use their given names — and as a family are to seek God together. This they do, in St. Benedict’s own ordering, by the solemn performance of the 'Opus Dei,’ the Work of God. This consists in the singing or recitation of the Divine Office in as perfect a manner as possible, and the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy, especially the Mass, which is the center of all public worship. It is, therefore, this spirit of centering all things around Christ that the Monk professes his vows to God. It is this same spirit that he hopes to bring into the classroom and to infuse into the students — the spirit of the family, the spirit of obedience to God’s law, the spirit of the radiance of Christ, the spirit of teaching the boys that all things begin and end in Christ. With this aim and this ideal in mind the individual Monk hopes and prays that he can be an instrument in the hand of God — not only to instruct in knowledge, but knowledge in the love and fear of God. Then and then only will the Monk fulfill his purpose: That in all things may God be glori- fied.” U. I. O. G. D. 14
