About F3
All sorts of outside elements have muddied the waters of our world. Pollution, garbage, and industrial
run-off have made it a lot more difficult for us to see what's below the surface. Similar elements have
muddied the more figurative waters of our souls. There's no clear way to see through the slime to the
miraculous life beneath without just diving in and exploring. So ... consider this a safe place to delve
the murky depths and discover the unique treasures held in store for you.

The Twelve (Monastic) Days of Christmas
I figured I'd have a little fun here with the twelve days of Christmas, as a lighter-yet-still-semi-accountable-holding option for these next couple days after Christmas. Unfortunately, as of right now, there are still a couple days for which I'm not sure what I'll do yet ... hopefully I'll come up with something by the time the day arrives! The lines should actually fit in the song, but you might have to do some creative syllabication to make it really work.
My quotes from the Rule of Benedict are from the RB1980 version (edited by Timothy Fry, OSB), a new translation which was done to celebrate 1500 of Benedictine life; this version can be found online in its entirity here, courtesy of Newark Abbey. (But, really, considering you can buy your own personal copy for a mere $2.95, why not consider that option as well?). For a little background on the Rule, there's an article that one of our sisters wrote that can be found here on our website; for a more inclusive collection of articles and translations, visit the Rule section of the online home of the Order of Saint Benedict.
Enjoy!

So will you continue the reflections? I guess you're kind of busy grading midterms and projects though.
