History of Saint Benedict

Benedictus of Nursia, Saint, also Benedictus (Italian Benedetto da Norcia, b. 480 – d. 21 March 547) – Founder of the Benedictine order , and also, as is believed, of all Western monasticism in general, chief patron of Europe. Coming from a noble family, he studied in Rome, but the harshness of Roman life displeased him and he went to a mountainous region not far from the city, where he lived in a cave for many years. The fame of Benedict's pious life led him to several supporters, with whom St Benedict founded 12 small monasteries .

The hostility of the local clergy forced him and his disciples to move south to Monte Cassino, where they founded a new monastery, for which Benedict composed rules in which he expressed his views on monasticism and the human soul. Benedict wrote the monastic charter of the Benedictine Menton, in which, as Saint Gregory said, "the holy man taught as he himself lived." He had the gift of predicting future events and reading people's thoughts. Thus, he was the first to create an elaborate system of rules for monastic life. According to them, a monk had to deny himself and understand God, and he was obliged not to have any property, to lead a life of virtue as an effective member of the Society of Love and Obedience.

According to the charter of Benedict of Nursia , anyone who wanted to become a monk had to undergo a summer probationary period (novitiate). The monks took three vows: chastity, poverty and obedience. The monks were obliged to keep silence, pray according to the established order of prayers, read the Holy Scriptures and the Fathers of the Church and provide for themselves at the cost of their own work. The ascetic norms established by Saint Benedict were quite accessible, but at the same time strict, which caused his popularity. Each monk was assigned to a particular monastery in which he had to live. The charter of Benedict of Nursia streamlines monastic life in the West and excludes anarchy and wandering of monks. Over time, this charter became a central element of Catholic monasticism. After Benedict's death, Pope Gregory I promoted Benedictine monasticism in Italy, Gaul and England. Saint Benedict was canonized by the Catholic Church and recognized as a saint in 1220.

July 11: St. Benedict's Day

Origin and content of the medallion of Saint Benedict

Saint Benedict (born in Nursia, Italy, in 480.) Venerated the Holy Cross and our crucified Savior with a peculiarity. By the sign of the cross, he performed many miracles and defeated evil spirits. In honor of his activity a medallion was struck. On one side there is an image of Benedict, who holds a cross and the Rule of the Chin, and on the edges there is an inscription in Latin, which in Ukrainian means: "May his presence guard us at the moment of death." (Saint Benedict has always been a patron of the dying, for he himself died gloriously, praying before the Most Holy Mysteries). On the back of the medallion is a cross. On the edge are the first letters of Latin words from a poem by Saint Benedict: "Go away, Satan, do not tell me your vain things." The cup that you are slipping me is evil; "Drink your own poison". In the corners of the cross the Latin words inform: "The cross of the holy monk Benedictus", on the cross itself: "May the holy cross be easy for me. Do not let the dragon become my guide".

Power and effect of the Medal of St. Benedict

All who wear it with reverence, trusting in the life-giving powers of the Lord's cross and in the merits of the righteous Benedictus , can hope for its help in spiritual and early needs. From the one who, in faith and reverence, wears this medallion, it turns away all dangers of the body and soul, coming from the evil spirit.

The medallion of a believing person will have the power to: destroy sorcerers, evil and malicious people; protect from temptations, deceptions; understand the conversion of sinners, especially - at the moment of death; protect from infirmities; protect from storms, lightning and other natural disasters. It can be worn around the neck, attached to the scapular (in other words, with the help of a clip) or to the rosary , or worn in another way. For the sick, to put it on wounds, to dip it in medicines or in the water they are given to drink.
