The Rule of Saint Benedict - Prologue

(14) Seeking his workman in a multitude of people, the Lord calls out to him and lifts his voice again,
(15) "Is there anyone here who yearns for life and desires to see good days?" (Ps 33[34]:13).
(16) If you hear this and your answer is "I do," God then directs these words to you:
(17) If you desire true and eternal life, "keep your tongue free from vicious talk and your lips from all deceit; turn away from evil and do good; let peace be your quest and aim," (Ps 33[34]:14-15).
(18) Once you have done this, my "eyes will be upon you and my ears will listen for your prayers; and even before you ask me, I will say to you: Here I am." (Isa 58:9).
(19) What, dear brothers, is more delightful than this voice of the Lord calling to us?
(20) See how the Lord in His love shows us the way of life.
(21) Clothed then with faith and the performance of good works, let us set out on this way, with the Gospel for our guide, that we may deserve to see him, "who has called us to his kingdom." (1 Thess 2:12).
