TGCL #0721: Monastic Values for a Modern World
Today’s topics: Monastic Values for a Modern World Summary of today’s show: Judith Valente is a professional TV and radio journalist and one day she found herself in a monastery in Atchison, Kansas, where she had an spiritual encounter that made her realize that her busy life was missing moments of silence when she could rest in the Lord. Judith joins Scot Landry to talk about how we can all cultivate a monastic interior life, not one that harkens back to the past, but one that can be a window to a future that places enduring values ahead of today’s transient consumerist attitudes, to build our own personal monastery in our lives. They also discuss how the Rule of St. Benedict that has governed monasteries for more than a millennium provides a better template for organizations and institutions of all sizes and kinds, including corporations.
