Note: this is a 16th

110. And, all of this is directly and immediately congruent
with the New Testament Church.
112. We know because of
the 2nd chapter of The Acts of the Apostles.
113. “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching
and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the
prayers.” (Acts 2.42)
114. “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching

The Rule of St Benedict
and the orthodox Catholic life in general.

prayers.” (Acts 2.42)

This is the basis and framework of the Prayer Book.
121. These three practices respond to the environment
described in Acts 2.1-41.
And, by the way, have you looked at how insanely vibrant
that environment must have been?
125. So, the Prayer Book as Regula works like this:
This is the “threefold” pattern of
corporate response ordered by the Prayer Book.
126. To the triune God—the Holy Trinity—
we respond with a threefold Regula:
127. To the triune God—the Holy Trinity—
we respond with a threefold Regula:
Divine Office is our responding to
the transcendent reality of God the Father.

Mass is our responding to the presence of God the Son.
Devotion is our responding to the activity
of God the Holy Spirit.
131. Divine Office
Response of praise and thanksgiving to the Father Almighty, our
transcendent source of all Being, by the entirety of the Body of Christ: in
visible creation (Church Militant) and in Paradise (Church Expectant)
and in Heaven (Church Triumphant) in the power of the Spirit.
132. Divine Office
Response of praise and thanksgiving to the Father Almighty, our
transcendent source of all Being, by the entirety of the Body of Christ: in
visible creation (Church Militant) and in Paradise (Church Expectant)
and in Heaven (Church Triumphant) in the power of the Spirit.
The articulation of invariable, set-prayer forms developed by the Church,
not subjectively in the moment. We join with the Angels and all the
company of Heaven —
the paradigm of the “Our Father.”

The articulation of invariable, set-prayer forms developed by the Church,

The Divine Office affirms objective doctrine about God
and the salvation we gain through Christ alone.
134. Mass
Communion with God the Son, whose reality is both immanent and
transcendent, in the power of the Spirit and by virtue of our
creatureliness owing entirely to the Father.
135. Mass
Communion with God the Son, whose reality is both immanent and
transcendent, in the power of the Spirit and by virtue of our
creatureliness owing entirely to the Father.
Both invariable and variable — Christ's identity fixed and
growing/becoming through the Church, the extension of Incarnation.
The paradigm of Sacrament of the Eucharist:
our daily and eternal bread of life.

Both invariable and variable — Christ's identity fixed and

The paradigm of Sacrament of the Eucharist:
our daily and eternal bread of life.
Through Christ, we can look
backward: examination of conscience in the week of ministry past,
forward: ministry ahead and the ultimacy of the future, and
in the present: open acceptance of the past and commitment to the future.
137. Devotion
Response of openness to the presence of God the Holy Spirit, our
immanent comforter, who guides the baptized into the unity of all truth,
all goodness, all beauty, the source of which is God the Father through
definitive expression in his Son.
138. Devotion
Response of openness to the presence of God the Holy Spirit, our
immanent comforter, who guides the baptized into the unity of all truth,
all goodness, all beauty, the source of which is God the Father through
definitive expression in his Son.
Essentially variable: an existential and subjective living-into a Scriptural
life in love and stewardship and ministry toward God's creatures and the
seeking and serving of Christ in all persons —
the paradigm of our baptismal covenant.

Scripture is the thesaurus of our corporate experience:
Scripture and the Church’s corporate experience
mutually interpret one another.
140. Because Regula is the means for total response,
omission or de-emphasis of any element of Regula
can lead to spiritual imbalance.
141. Because Regula is the means for total response,
omission or de-emphasis of any element of Regula
can lead to spiritual imbalance.
Simply put, omission means
a less than full response to God.
142. De-emphasis of the Divine Office diminishes our sense of
divine transcendence and can lead to subjectivism,
sentimentality, pantheism, earth-bound faith.
143. De-emphasis of the Mass diminishes our sense of sacramental
fellowship and can lead to idolatry and un-integrated life.
144. De-emphasis of Devotion diminishes our sense of divine
immanence and can leads to rigidity,
formalism, and insularity.
145. Only a complete and full Regula
supports a living and creative faith.
146. Only a complete and full Regula

of Regula and the means for habitual recollection,
all of which is supported by the Prayer Book.
163. And, yes, we aren’t big fans of diagrams either.
166. Through Catechesis, Mystagogy, and Spiritual Direction,
we respond particularly to Christ’s first commandment:
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
and with all your soul, and with all your mind (Mt 22.37).
167. Through Evangelization, Service and Stewardship, and Examination
of Conscience, we respond particularly to Christ’s second
commandment:

of Conscience, we respond particularly to Christ’s second

169. Note that Regula is necessary,
but does not as a single concept express the entirety
of Christian possibility.
