ST BENEDICT---A SAINT FOR ALL SEASONS BY CYNTHIA ABEGAIL

ST BENEDICT

St Benedict is one of the greatest saints in the history of the Church.  He established

one of the largest orders of friars, the Benedictines.  This order is famed for their

love of contemplation and of the development of the total personality of the person.

 

Nonetheless, the Benedict's Rule which consists of logical steps to follow if one

would be like to be a disciple of Christ.  It echoes the practicality, and the use of

reason in one's faith.

 

St Benedict is a great exemplar of faith.  Many miracles had been attributed to him.

One famous miracle is when a glass of drink with poison shattered when he uttered

a blessing.  This is not surprising, for God works miracles in his faithful servants!
