Listen carefully my child to the instructions of your master and incline the ear of your heart. Cheerfully receive and faithfully put into practice the advice of a loving parent that by the toil of obedience you may return to God from whom you have drifted by the sloth of disobedience. 

To you therefore my message is now directed, who, giving up your own will, take the strong and most excellent arms of obedience to do battle for Christ the Lord, the true king.

Prologue 1-3, Rule of St Benedict
