0:04:08 > 0:04:10- OTHERS:- Amen.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14The Rule of Our Holy Father St Benedict, Chapter the 57th,

0:04:14 > 0:04:16The Craftsmen Of The Monastery.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19"If there be craftsmen in the monastery,

0:04:19 > 0:04:22"let them practise their crafts with all humility,

0:04:22 > 0:04:25"provided the abbot give permission.

0:04:25 > 0:04:30"But if one of them be puffed up because of his skill in his craft,

0:04:30 > 0:04:34"supposing that he is conferring a benefit on the monastery,

0:04:34 > 0:04:36"let him be removed from his work

0:04:36 > 0:04:40"and not return to it unless he have humbled himself

0:04:40 > 0:04:43"and the abbot entrust it to him again.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46"If any of the work of the craftsmen is to be sold,

0:04:46 > 0:04:49"let those who have to manage the business

0:04:49 > 0:04:54"take care that they be not guilty of any dishonesty.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57"Let them always remember Ananias and Saphira,

0:04:57 > 0:05:00"and take care lest they or any others

0:05:00 > 0:05:04"who deal dishonestly with the property of the monastery

0:05:04 > 0:05:05"should suffer in their souls

0:05:05 > 0:05:09"the death which they endured in their bodies.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11"And as regards the price,

0:05:11 > 0:05:14"let not the sin of avarice creep in,

0:05:14 > 0:05:17"but let the goods always be sold a little cheaper

0:05:17 > 0:05:20"than they are sold by people of the world,

0:05:20 > 0:05:24"that in all things God may be glorified."

0:05:26 > 0:05:31Heavenly Father, we thank you for the gift of life

0:05:31 > 0:05:35and the ability to work for your glory

0:20:52 > 0:20:58Oh, God, who gave life to our souls, and kept our feet from stumbling.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01For you, O God, have tested us.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05You have tried us as silver is tried.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08You led us, God, into the snare.

0:21:08 > 0:21:12You laid a heavy burden on our backs.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Glory be to the Father and to the Son

0:21:23 > 0:21:26and to the Holy Spirit,

0:21:26 > 0:21:31as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,

0:21:31 > 0:21:33world without end, amen.

0:24:15 > 0:24:20A reading from a sermon by St John Chrysostom.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23"Though our bodies may be in an attitude of prayer

0:24:23 > 0:24:27"and our mouths babbling some pious formula,

0:24:27 > 0:24:31"can we really claim to be praying in the presence of God

0:24:31 > 0:24:34"when our minds are wandering hither and thither,

0:24:34 > 0:24:36"in home and marketplace?"

0:24:38 > 0:24:41"Those people who pray in the presence of the Lord,

0:24:41 > 0:24:44"who pray with complete recollection,

0:24:44 > 0:24:50"who having no worldly attachments, have removed from earth to heaven

0:24:50 > 0:24:53"and banished all human preoccupations...

0:24:57 > 0:25:02"..that, indeed, is how Christ also commanded us to pray in the Gospels,

0:25:02 > 0:25:06"when he told His disciples not to pray like the Gentiles,

0:25:06 > 0:25:08"and not to use empty repetitions.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13"He also taught them the right way to pray,

0:25:13 > 0:25:17"showing them it is not in a multiplicity of words,

0:25:17 > 0:25:20"but mental alertness, that wins us a hearing.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36"Christ commanded us to make our players short

0:25:36 > 0:25:41"and to say them frequently, at brief intervals...

0:25:43 > 0:25:47"..for if you spin out your words to any length,

0:25:47 > 0:25:49"you are often inattentive

0:25:49 > 0:25:55"and so give the devil freedom to approach and trip you up

0:25:55 > 0:25:58"and divert your mind from what you were saying.

0:26:01 > 0:26:05"But if you pray continuously and frequently,

0:26:05 > 0:26:08"repeating your prayer at brief intervals,

0:26:08 > 0:26:14"you can easily remain recollected and fully alert as you pray.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19"That is true prayer,

0:26:19 > 0:26:22"when its cries come from the depths of one's being."
