0:48:09 > 0:48:11The rule of our holy Father, Saint Benedict,

0:48:11 > 0:48:14chapter six on the spirit of silence.

0:48:16 > 0:48:18Let us do what the prophet says.

0:48:18 > 0:48:23I said I will guard my ways that I may not sin with my tongue.

0:48:23 > 0:48:25I have set a guard to my mouth.

0:48:25 > 0:48:29I was mute and was humbled, and kept silence even from good things.

0:48:32 > 0:48:36Here the prophet shows that if the spirit of silence ought to lead us

0:48:36 > 0:48:39at times to refrain even from good speech,

0:48:39 > 0:48:42so much the more ought the punishment for sin

0:48:42 > 0:48:44make us avoid evil words.

0:48:46 > 0:48:50Therefore, since the spirit of silence is so important,

0:48:50 > 0:48:54permission to speak should rarely be granted even to perfect disciples,

0:48:54 > 0:48:58even though it be for good, holy, edifying conversation.

0:49:01 > 0:49:04In much speaking, you will not escape sin,

0:49:04 > 0:49:07and in another place death and life are in the power of the tongue.

0:49:11 > 0:49:14For speaking and teaching belonged to the master.

0:49:14 > 0:49:17The disciples' part is to be silent and to listen.

0:49:19 > 0:49:23And for that reason, if anything has to be asked of the Superior,

0:49:23 > 0:49:26it should be asked with all the humility and submission

0:49:26 > 0:49:28inspired by reverence.

0:49:30 > 0:49:33But as for coarse jests and idle words,

0:49:33 > 0:49:35or words that move to laughter,

0:49:35 > 0:49:39these we condemn everywhere with a perpetual ban

0:49:39 > 0:49:44and for such conversation we do not permit a disciple to open his mouth.

0:51:32 > 0:51:33DISTANT BELL RINGS

0:53:46 > 0:53:49THEY CHANT IN LATIN

0:55:06 > 0:55:14# Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto

0:55:21 > 0:55:25# Et in saecula saeculorum
