The spirit of Saint Benedict's Rule is summed up in the motto of the Benedictine Confederation: pax ("peace") and the traditional ora et labora ("pray and work"). Compared to other precepts, the Rule provides a moderate path between individual zeal and formulaic institutionalism; because of this middle ground it has been widely popular. Benedict's concerns were the needs of monks in a community environment: namely, to establish due order, to foster an understanding of the relational nature of human beings, and to provide a spiritual father to support and strengthen the individual's ascetic effort and the spiritual growth that is required for the fulfillment of the human vocation, theosis.
The Rule of Saint Benedict has been used by Benedictines for 15 centuries, and thus St. Benedict is sometimes regarded as the founder of Western monasticism due to reform that his rules had on the current Catholic hierarchy.[2] There is, however, no evidence to suggest that Benedict intended to found a religious order in the modern sense and it was not until the Late Middle Ages that mention was made of an "Order of Saint Benedict". His Rule was written as a guide for individual, autonomous communities, and all Benedictine Houses (and the Congregations in which they have grouped themselves) still remain self-governing. Advantages seen in retaining this unique Benedictine emphasis on autonomy include cultivating models of tightly bonded communities and contemplative lifestyles. Perceived disadvantages comprise geographical isolation from important activities in adjacent communities. Other perceived losses include inefficiency and lack of mobility in the service of others, and insufficient appeal to potential members. These different emphases emerged within the framework of the Rule in the course of history and are to some extent present within the Benedictine Confederation and the Cistercian Orders of the Common and the Strict Observance.
Answer:
Imagine you marry and your spouse earns $50,000 per year. You will be filing your taxes together. Does this change your opinion of the proposed tax plans? Explain your response.
Explanation:
Answer:
D. y = 1/2x + 3/2
Explanation:
You probably already know the point slope equation:
y = m(x - x₀) + y₀
All you need is the slope and the (x₀, y₀).
The (x₀, y₀) could be solved by plugging in the given x=-1 value into the function.
m, the slope, is the same as a derivative; ie. a derivative is a slope.
So solve for the derivative and find the slope at x=-1.
Plug into point slope equation and simplify.
Answer:
The area of square 2 is 130 units square
Explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
The area of a square is
where
b is the length side of the square
Let
b1 ----> the length side of square 1
b2 ----> the length side of square 2
b3 ----> the length side of square 3
Applying the Pythagoras Theorem
-----> equation A
we have
Remember that
so
substitute in the equation A and solve for b2^2
therefore
The area of square 2 is 130 units square
Natural observation I think I’m so dusty
