St. Benedict
St. Benedict had much fame as a religious man. However, before all of this fame, St. Benedict retreated to a cave and lived there as a hermit for three years. While he was there, St. Benedict realized that this was the best way to obtain a religious and peaceful mind.
The Benedictine Rule
St. Benedict formed a religious group called monks. These monks were ruled by an abbot. For more information on monks and abbots click the button below.
