Saint Benedict Orders Saint Maurus to the Rescue of Saint Placidus. ca.1445. Tempera on panel. The National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, USA.

St Maurus & St Placid: a simple command, a dangerous lake, a brother’s hand reaching out. In the Rule, love is never sentimental—it moves. Christ, teach us obedience that becomes mercy. #RuleOfStBenedict #MercifulLove
