Prayer: Rule of Benedict

Your way of acting should be different from the world's way; the love of Christ should come before all else. You are not to act in anger or nurse a grudge. Rid your heart of all deceit. Never give a hollow greeting of peace or turn away when someone needs your love.

This is easier said than done and it takes a lot of work to arrive at this place. We have great freedom when we can love/live in this way.
