9. Morning Worship Bishop Justus Church of England School Benedict of Nursia 11 th July 2016

10. Gather The Lord be with you And also with you Let the light of Christ shine in our lives

11. Receive My child, if you accept my words and treasure up my commandments within you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; if you indeed cry out for insight, and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver, and search for it as for hidden treasures - then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. From the book of Proverbs, chapter 2 verses 1 to 6

12. Engage Benedict was born in Nursia, central Italy, around the year 480. As a young man he was sent to study in Rome, but was soon appalled by the corruption in society and withdrew to live as a hermit at Subiaco. He quickly attracted disciples and began to establish small monasteries in the neighbourhood. Later in life Benedict wrote his Rule for Monks, based on his own experience of fallible people striving to live out the gospel, his Rule became the model for all western monasticism.

13. Video suggestion … Discovering our Saints - Saint Benedict https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3LZRQmGC1Y An Introduction to St Benedict of Nursia's The Rule of Saint Benedict- A Macat Theology Analysis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc4t0zLuElE Engage Some discussion ideas … How do you think that a structure to the day (like a school timetable) is useful? Benedict gave instructions as to how a monastery should be built, with places for sleeping, eating etc – how would you design a school?

14. Respond Eternal God, who made Benedict a wise master in the school of your service and a guide to many called into community to follow the rule of Christ: grant that we may put your love before all else and seek with joy the way of your commandments; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
