Summary: <br> <br> The remedy for fear is love<br> From the <a href="http://www.ccel.org/ccel/benedict/rule2/files/rule2.html#ch58" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Holy Rule of St. Benedict:</a><br> <br> <br> <br> CHAPTER VI<br> “…Having, therefore, ascended all these degrees of humility, the monk will presently arrive at that love of God, which being perfect, casteth out fear (1 Jn 4:18). In virtue of this love all things which at first he observed not without fear, he will now begin to keep without any effort, and as it were, naturally by force of habit, no longer from the fear of hell, but from the love of Christ, from the very habit of good and the pleasure in virtue. May the Lord be pleased to manifest all this by His Holy Spirit in His laborer now cleansed from vice and sin.”<br> <br> <br> <br> Father Mauritius Wilde, OSB, Ph.D., did his philosophical, theological, and doctoral studies in Europe. He is the author of several books and directs retreats regularly. He serves as Prior at Sant’Anselmo in Rome.<br> <br>
