Among the most prominent teachings of the desert fathers was one of living by a Rule of Life. Generations retreats end with a teaching on crafting a Rule of Life. This will be practical along with giving the rationale behind a rule of life. Everyone should live by a rule throughout all seasons of life. The 4th century desert fathers found something that should be pervasive throughout all of Christendom: a “regula” or rule of conduct and habit toward intimacy with God.
Text: Mark 2
21 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. 22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.”
