A recent assignment for the Church of the Incarnation in Richardson, Texas highlights the parish’s participation as a Saint Benedict Community.
The Benedictine life requires a commitment to serving the community and dedicated daily meditation.
The Benedictine monastic ideals are rooted in a historical doctrine in which mutual service, especially in the mundane areas of everyday life, is demanded of all with no expectation of individual reward. It is a challenge to contribute to a living, flesh-and-blood community on those terms.
