Spiritual ruling

[englishredrose]

Most Orders require one to work out a spiritual ruling. In the sermon today our priest talked about most Christians have some kind of ruling. I wonder if you have a specific one? Did you work it out yourself or with a spiritual director? Do you use it to shape your interests or do your interest shape your ruling? How do you live by it on a constant daily basis?

Pax Christi!

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a spiritual ruling? Is it like a rule? As in, a rule to live by? Franciscans and Dominicans have their rules; is this what you mean?

God bless.

In the book “Navigating the Interior Life,” some outlines are given for developing a personal spiritual rule to live by (with the help, hopefully, of a spiritual director) that will help you grow in love and holiness.

I don’t think I have a rule. There are certain practices that I try to follow faithfully, though; I pray the 5 decades of the rosary daily and try to think about the details of the Mysteries and what they might mean. I go to daily Mass whenever possible, and Confession at least once a month. I tried to pray portions of the LOTH daily but then I had several emotionally difficult days and that plan got ejected (that might be a bad thing, I dunno…)
