Holy Father Benedict, the father of monks in the West, is one of the greatest saints of the Church’s illustrious halls of fame. His movement to become a hermit and found monasteries, writing the famous Rule of St. Benedict, was the decisive moment of monasticism’s growth in the West, under the maxim of ora et labora, “prayer and work.”
