June 13 – St. Benedict of Nursia from The Rule
(1) In the first place to love the Lord God with the whole heart, the whole soul, the whole strength…
(2) Then, one’s neighbor as one’s self.
(3) Then, not to kill…
(4) Not to commit adultery…
(5) Not to steal…
(6) Not to covet.
(7) Not to bear false witness.
(8) To honor all men.
(9) And what one would not have done to himself, not to do to another.
(10) To deny one’s self in order to follow Christ.
(11) To chastise the body.
(12) Not to seek after pleasures.
(13) To love fasting.
(14) To relieve the poor.
(15) To clothe the naked…
(16) To visit the sick.
(17) To bury the dead.
(18) To help in trouble.
(19) To console the sorrowing.
(20) To hold one’s self aloof from worldly ways. — Chapter IV, The Instruments of Good Works
