"The first degree of humility is prompt obedience"-St.Benedict of Nursia.
Hi there fellow scholars and students,
My name is Sanjana Ramachandran and I am doing my bachelor's in theology at Oxford university. Since year 12, I have always been interested in the lives of saints who changed everybody's lives.
St Benedict was a saint who was honored by the Catholic church for developing Western Monasticism and for changing solitary worship of god after leaving his immoral city and coming to a peaceful village. He wrote a book called the Rule which was a guide to proper monastic living and also highlighted the values of prayer and monasticism. Millions of people were inspired by his rules and messages and they wanted to live like him. Today, there are so many Benedictine communities and churches around the world and there are people who live like him.
As you go through this website, you will learn about St Benedict's personal life and works.In this website, I have also written about two modern day people like St Benedict . To get an easier understanding of Benedict I have also uploaded a video on the first page that gives a brief on St Benedict's life.There is a quote from the Rule in every page.There are also some extra resources. I hope you all can learn some values of St.Benedict.
