Benedict and Scholastica
More than 1500 years
ago, a man of God, Benedict, and his twin sister Scholastica established
monasteries where people could work and pray together on their journey to
God. Benedict wrote a practical and wise Gospel-based Rule which outlined
practices of the spiritual life and principles for wholesome, balanced
living. Followed by monastic communities throughout the world, the Rule of
Benedict emphasizes values such as prayer, moderation, stewardship,
community, hospitality, mutual respect and peace – values vital to
overcoming the violence and turmoil in our society today.
