He is known as the “father of Western monastic life”.

Benedict was born into the Italian aristocracy. In his youth, he went to Rome to study. Because of the bad social atmosphere, he left Rome and lived a complete hermit life in the caves of Suppia. After being discovered by a priest, so constantly someone came to consult spiritual affairs. It was a convent in Vicovaro, and when the abbot died, there was no replacement. The monks asked Benedict to take charge of the house. But it was not allowed by the monks because of its strict rules. The monks plotted against him. They assigned the friars to hold poisoned wine for his blessing, and when St. Benedict raised his hand and made the sign of the cross on the cup, it burst and shattered. After this incident, he left the convent and returned to the caves of Suppia. As many committed monasteries came to him for advice, he readily accepted them and grouped them into small spiritual groups. After that, St. Benedict established twelve monasteries in Suppia. In the convent of Monte Cassino, St. Benedict wrote the rules, which were very strict and emphasized manual labor. But opposed to excessive form of penance. This Benedictine order set the pattern of Western monastic life, and he is known as the “father of Western monastic life”.
