The habit of monastic observance, the habit of close union with God, the mental habit of seeing our life in its relation to God, all these empty us of encumbrance. Our hearts expand and grow to the stature of God, and God is at home with us, free of our house and Sovereign there.(Dom Delatte, Commentary on the Prologue of the Rule of St. Benedict)
