Dec 30 – World Day of Prayer for Peace

  Today we interrupted our reading of Aristotle’s Children during our midday meal to hear the reading of Pope Francis’ address for the 50th World Day of Peace to be observed on Jan. 1, 2017.

 
from Rule of St. Benedict: Chapter 38. The Reader for the Week

Reading will always accompany the meals of the brothers.
