Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?” “Here I am,” I said; “send me!” (Is 6:8)

The call of the prophet Isaiah is remarkable for the eagerness with which the prophet responds, “Here I am, send me!” Today is the feast of Saint Benedict. The Rule for Monasteries which Benedict wrote invites us all to the school of the Lord’s service.

Today's picture is the mural of Saint Benedict from Saint Meinrad Archabbey in Indiana.
