Creating a Rule of Life: a guideline for Spiritual Growth

Have you ever made some resolutions and then found that nothing much changed? Or said that you wanted to see something happen but looking back it never came to pass? We need to move beyond our aspirations and desires to something more concrete, a plan or some practises that become habits. In the monastic tradition, this plan or practises was called “a rule of life”, and could be likened to a signpost or a handrail that helped us on the journey. In this sermon Rupert explains about the purpose of a rule of life, and briefly outlines how you can form one.
