Who was St. Benedict?
Saint Benedict was born in the Italian city of Nursia in the year 480. His parents were of noble birth and he was raised in a Christian home. As a young man, Benedict was sent to Rome to study. He soon became disillusioned with the lifestyle there and withdrew to the Italian countryside.
Benedict lived as a hermit for some years, but his reputation as a holy man soon attracted a number of followers. He established a monastery at Monte Cassino, which became the center of the Benedictine Order.
Benedict’s Rule, which is still followed by the Benedictines, sets forth a number of guidelines for monastic life. Among these are: vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience; the daily recitation of the office; and the observance of silence.
Benedict died in 543, but his order continued to grow and spread throughout Europe. Today, there are Benedictine monasteries in many countries around the world.

Dear Father, You provided your holy monk, Benedict, as a leader and master in the spiritual life for a countless number of followers. Filled as he was the spirit of all the just, You flooded him with the splendor of Your light. In the intense radiance of this light his mind was freed of hindrance and he was able to discern how incomplete all things are here below. Because of this the entire monastic company in every part of the world sings out its joy, and the Virtues on high, with all the angels, continuously praise Your glory in song.

We ask all this through Jesus Christ Our Lord, Who with You lives and reigns, one God, world without end. Amen.
