Saint Benedict, Father of Western Monasticism
Description
With society crumbling around him, Saint Benedict was called by God to reform the moral and social depravity of his day. Challenging his followers to embrace discipline rather than licentiousness, silence rather than tumult, and mortification rather than self-gratification. Read about his combats with the devil, the assassination attempts and his final establishment of the Abbey at Monte Cassino. Saint Benedict, the founder of many monasteries in Italy, is considered the Father of Western Monasticism. He helped preserve and restore western culture during the barbarian invasions.
