Saint Benedict- Patron Saint of Europe. Father of Western Monasticism.
His Motto: Pray and Work!
His spirituality, leadership and holiness were instrumental in saving the Christian culture of Europe from the barbarians. It is small wonder that our current Pope took his name as he faces the forces of neo-paganism and the modern barbarians of secularism, licentiousness, and mindless materialism.
