Used by Christians since ancient times, the effectiveness of a Rule of Life is time-tested and as relevant as ever for those of us distracted by the cares and riches of this world. We need help to focus on Christ, to make Him the most important person in our lives, and to put every other good thing in its proper place. This will not happen by accident or without great intentionality. A Rule of Life helps us to stay the course in cooperating with God’s work in our lives, ultimately transforming our thoughts, words, and actions. The resource you hold in your hand is meant to help you craft a Rule of Life that is both personalized and communal. It is personal in that it will fit you but communal in that it will connect you to the practices and rhythms the Church has practiced for millennia.
