Way of St Benedict

St. Benedict is regarded as the father of monastic life in the West –and one of the patrons of Europe. Of Roman descent, he lived in Italy (then subjugated by barbarians) between the 5th and 6th centuries. His renowned Rule of contemplative life (the famed Rule of St Benedict) which has governed the lives of monasteries for way over a millennium, is admired not only by believers but also by those who espouse a tranquil and balanced lifestyle.
