About this listen

Discover the life and legacy of Saint Benedict of Nursia (c. 480 – 543 or 547), revered by the Catholic Church as the patron saint of Europe and students. He established twelve monastic communities in Subiaco, Italy, before relocating to the serene heights of Monte Cassino in southern Italy. Renowned for his influential Rule of Saint Benedict, which outlines the guiding principles for monastic life, he is often regarded as the father of Western monasticism. Join us as we explore his remarkable contributions to spirituality and community living. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia)
