THE BENEDICTINES
Benedictine order: intro
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
About 70 years after the fall of Rome, one finds Benedict of Nursia .
He was born around 480 ce and died about 547.
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
You know that the Desert Fathers and Mothers have been around since the 200’s…
… so the idea of Christian men and women living in prayer and solitude is already centuries old
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
A monk named Pachomius is credited with the idea of those Desert Hermits…
…forming into groups and living in community.
So by the time of St Benedict, the idea was a familiar one.
Benedict really made it work, though. He had a lot of common sense, so his ideas about how to live in communities lasted!
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
His first abbey was founded in Italy in 529.
By 708, there were also Benedictine monasteries in France!
The following slide shows the monastery of Mont Saint Michel.

A) The Benedictines: INTRO
One of the main “purposes” or “gifts” or “charisms” of the Benedictine Monastery was HOSPITALITY.
Sometimes Benedictine monasteries even served as hospitals or medical centers (“such as they were”) in medieval times.
Imagine wandering on foot, cold and hungry, and exhausted, with no Motels in existence…and then seeing ahead of you..
…all lit up of course with candles and fire-places, instead of gas….

What a comfort that would be!
They would take you in…and you could spend the night (HOSPITALITY) and feed you…
..and they had herbs and salves to give you, if you were feeling ill or had blisters.
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
In the 900’’s, another French abbey, at Cluny, was founded.
In the 1100’s, it was consecrated by the Pope and had become very powerful.
(the next slide shows where Cluny is located)

In the following slide, you can see how all the IMPORTANT MEN OF POWER were gathered around the consecration (“blessing”) of this monastic complex.
Again: the Church is involved with culture, money, and power.

The original Church from the 1100’s was destroyed. Additional parts were built up over centuries.

San Lorenzo with its unfinished facade
Brunelleschi and the Medici
Not only did he solve the problem of the Cathedral dome,
but Brunelleschi was also responsible for a revolution in the
plan of church building and interiors. He was asked to build
San Lorenzo and he wanted to include a piazza as part of the
rebuilding – although this never materialized.
San Lorenzo was patronized by the Medici family, and the
architect was able to use more expensive materials and
elaborate details in his design – even though he had to
struggle with preexisting structures on the site.
Lorenzo de’ Medici noted in his Diary that, between 1434,
the year that Cosimo returned from exile, and 1471, the year
that he was writing, his family spent an impressive 663, 755
gold florins on charity, taxes, and public buildings.

The Life of St Anthony was the first monastic biography and was enormously influential in the early and medieval church, up to the current day. St Augustine mentions the Life of St Anthony in his spiritual autobiography, Confessions, as being a pivotal writing that helped convince him to be baptized as a Christian by St Ambrose. This book will encourage all who read it in their walk in the Lord, in their efforts to truly live a godly life.
One day St Anthony went into church as this Gospel verse was being read: Jesus said, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
Anthony perceived that this verse was directed at him, so he IMMEDIATELY gave the family land, his inheritance, and his other possessions to the poor, and joined the monastic communities in the deserts of Egypt.
Since the Christian persecutions had ended when Christianity became a state religion, the monastic movement sprung up in the desert to strive towards a type of spiritual martyrdom of the flesh. St Anthony would spend the rest of his long life, passing away at the advanced age of 105, in the desert as a monk, sometimes as an eremite, or hermit, sometimes as the leader of a community of monks.
During one of his periods of exile, St Athanasius fled to the desert and met St Anthony, and enlisted his help in combatting the heresy of the Arians. Soon after the death of St Anthony, St Athanasius wrote the influential Life of St Anthony to preserve the memory of his holy life.

The Bible says that iron sharpens iron as one man sharpens another.docxtodd541
The Bible says that iron sharpens iron as one man sharpens another. This passage speaks to the design God has for relationships here on earth. Specifically, the journey to achieve a doctoral degree should not be conducted alone (Lehna, Hermanns, Monsivias, & Engebretson, 2016). Doctoral work stretches learning and experiences to their breaking point. The break is intended for the boxes and walls built in the current knowledge and beliefs one holds to give way to new ideas and expressions. These ideas and expressions aid in new solutions, or reframing established solutions for modern audiences to complex social problems. As such, the journey to dive deep into a field requiring command and application of the vast knowledge contained will need partnerships such as mentors (Harbman, Bryant-Lukosious, Martin-Misner, Carter, Covell, Donald, & Valaitis, 2017).
Finding a mentor and having a solid match
Empirical studies conclude mentor relationships improve a student’s ability to learn and retain knowledge and skill in many environments (Asgari & Carter, 2016). Mentor/mentee studies of minority scholars find increases in academic and career-related achievements for more than 97% of participants. These participants moved two letter grades and increased career positions over those without mentor relationships (Ooms, Werker, & Hopp, 2018; Witrrup, Hussain, Albright, Hurd, Varner, & Mattis, 2016).
The critical characteristic of successful mentor/mentee relationships is correlated to the compatibility of the pair or group (Harbman, Bryant-Lukosious, Martin-Misner, Carter, Covell, Donald, & Valaitis, 2017; Witrrup, Hussain, Albright, Hurd, Varner, & Mattis, 2016). The focus of study and career should be considered as a parallel point in a choice of mentor. Mentee's would lose time, trust, and loyalty to their mentor if they chose someone that does not have a specific strength in the field of focus. Nurses experience higher rates of job satisfaction based on matching higher skilled nurses with novice staff (Harbman, Bryant-Lukosious, Martin-Misner, Carter, Covell, Donald, & Valaitis, 2017).
It appears an application of iron sharpening iron can be applied from what the above empirical data shows. The Bible does not say that iron sharpens copper. As such, experienced and knowledgeable nurses will hone novice nurses. Leaders with more years and experiences will instill the organizational knowledge to mentees. Iron is compatible with iron. Strategic leader students should then find mentors that are established and knowledgeable leaders to learn from.
The right mentor
In social work practices, it is necessary to find a mentor that has an expanse of knowledge and experience. This need for relevant education and experience is especially real in child/adult protection leadership. It is ever changing and evolving. A mentor that has twenty to thirty years of experience is difficult to find in North Carolina. I am blessed to have a mentor with more than th.
The best evidence of the first deliberate human burial dates back al.docxtodd541
The best evidence of the first deliberate human burial dates back almost 100,000 years, and the idea of ancestor veneration has persisted for millennia. The way that a living community responds to death reveals much about their sense of identity and particularly the group’s religious and spiritual traditions. Choose a culture/region from the list below and include in your paper responses to both of the following questions:
Mesopotamians keeping ancestral skulls on display in the home
Indians burning the funeral pyre on the River Ganges
Asians modifying the bones of the dead during “secondary burials”
Romans arranging the deceased in visible underground catacombs
Medieval Eastern Europeans preventing vampires or other revenants
How do burial rituals build identity and strengthen the sense of community for the living?
What factors have shaped these customs and values—religious, political, geographical, etc.?
Fully develop your findings in a 2-3 page paper, and be sure to format your paper and cite your research sources as per APA guidelines.

Find a site in which a person gives a personal account of what it is like to have a mental disorder (choose one of the disorders described in the book) and go to that site. MAKE SURE THAT IT IS A NEW SITE, SOMETHING NO ONE HAS ALREADY CHOSEN. Read that person's description of his or her experience and answer the following questions:
1. Tell us what you know about the person and what disorder is portrayed. REMEMBER TO CHOOSE A NEW SITE, SOMETHING NO ONE ELSE HAS CHOSEN ALREADY. What difficulties does that person have to cope with that most people do not? What has it been like for that person to cope with mental disorder?

I chose to discuss Justin Timberlake who in 2008 admitted that he had ocd and add. I am not a huge fan of his but I appreciate that he suffers from 2 illnesses. As I have depression and add it's interesting to me how they interact. In regards to Justin I located statements he had made on
www.disable-world.com
,
www.femalefirst.co.uk
and
www.anxietyguru.net
. I wanted to use more than one site to highlight how his symptoms affected him. When I went to the Beyond Madness site and looked at OCD I was surprised at how many people were suspected of having OCD like Charles Darwin and Ludwig Van Beethoven. When you think of the systematic way in which Darwin organized his notes for the
Origin of Species
one can see that the skills needed for such specific a book would require a person who would be able to give a systematic outline for what they were observing. What I knew about Justin Timberlake prior to this assignment was limited to his work as a performer. He says that his OCD affects many parts of his daily life. OCD is made up of compulsions and obsessions. Both need not be present for a diagnosis to be reached. A person can have obsessions without compulsions. His obsessions include that everything around him be lined up. He also can only have specific foods in his fridge and of course, they must be in a specific place. This did cause problems with his girlfriend Jessica Alba when she moved in and had to work with Justin on this issue. Justin cites that he loves to perform and that in spite of his OCD and ADD he is still able to perform. There is something very stimulating about being on stage so that stimulation may be the boost he needs.It's helpful for persons with ADD not to be distracted by details but rather able to concentrate on their own activities. Justin's description does mirror muc.

The break is intended for the boxes and walls built in the current knowledge and beliefs one holds to give way to new ideas and expressions. These ideas and expressions aid in new solutions, or reframing established solutions for modern audiences to complex social problems. As such, the journey to dive deep into a field requiring command and application of the vast knowledge contained will need partnerships such as mentors (Harbman, Bryant-Lukosious, Martin-Misner, Carter, Covell, Donald, & Valaitis, 2017).
Finding a mentor and having a solid match
Empirical studies conclude mentor relationships improve a student’s ability to learn and retain knowledge and skill in many environments (Asgari & Carter, 2016). Mentor/mentee studies of minority scholars find increases in academic and career-related achievements for more than 97% of participants. These participants moved two letter grades and increased career positions over those without mentor relationships (Ooms, Werker, & Hopp, 2018; Witrrup, Hussain, Albright, Hurd, Varner, & Mattis, 2016).
The critical characteristic of successful mentor/mentee relationships is correlated to the compatibility of the pair or group (Harbman, Bryant-Lukosious, Martin-Misner, Carter, Covell, Donald, & Valaitis, 2017; Witrrup, Hussain, Albright, Hurd, Varner, & Mattis, 2016). The focus of study and career should be considered as a parallel point in a choice of mentor. Mentee's would lose time, trust, and loyalty to their mentor if they chose someone that does not have a specific strength in the field of focus. Nurses experience higher rates of job satisfaction based on matching higher skilled nurses with novice staff (Harbman, Bryant-Lukosious, Martin-Misner, Carter, Covell, Donald, & Valaitis, 2017).
It appears an application of iron sharpening iron can be applied from what the above empirical data shows. The Bible does not say that iron sharpens copper. As such, experienced and knowledgeable nurses will hone novice nurses. Leaders with more years and experiences will instill the organizational knowledge to mentees. Iron is compatible with iron. Strategic leader students should then find mentors that are established and knowledgeable leaders to learn from.
The right mentor
In social work practices, it is necessary to find a mentor that has an expanse of knowledge and experience. This need for relevant education and experience is especially real in child/adult protection leadership. It is ever changing and evolving. A mentor that has twenty to thirty years of experience is difficult to find in North Carolina. I am blessed to have a mentor with more than th.
The best evidence of the first deliberate human burial dates back al.docxtodd541
The best evidence of the first deliberate human burial dates back almost 100,000 years, and the idea of ancestor veneration has persisted for millennia. The way that a living community responds to death reveals much about their sense of identity and particularly the group’s religious and spiritual traditions. Choose a culture/region from the list below and include in your paper responses to both of the following questions:
Mesopotamians keeping ancestral skulls on display in the home
Indians burning the funeral pyre on the River Ganges
Asians modifying the bones of the dead during “secondary burials”
Romans arranging the deceased in visible underground catacombs
Medieval Eastern Europeans preventing vampires or other revenants
How do burial rituals build identity and strengthen the sense of community for the living?
What factors have shaped these customs and values—religious, political, geographical, etc.?
Fully develop your findings in a 2-3 page paper, and be sure to format your paper and cite your research sources as per APA guidelines.

The Beyond Madness webring consists of many internet sites concerning mental disorders. Go to http://www.webring.org/hub?ring=bmadness to look at a list of those sites. (Copy and paste the address).
Find a site in which a person gives a personal account of what it is like to have a mental disorder (choose one of the disorders described in the book) and go to that site. MAKE SURE THAT IT IS A NEW SITE, SOMETHING NO ONE HAS ALREADY CHOSEN. Read that person's description of his or her experience and answer the following questions:
1. Tell us what you know about the person and what disorder is portrayed. REMEMBER TO CHOOSE A NEW SITE, SOMETHING NO ONE ELSE HAS CHOSEN ALREADY. What difficulties does that person have to cope with that most people do not? What has it been like for that person to cope with mental disorder?

I chose to discuss Justin Timberlake who in 2008 admitted that he had ocd and add. I am not a huge fan of his but I appreciate that he suffers from 2 illnesses. As I have depression and add it's interesting to me how they interact. In regards to Justin I located statements he had made on

and

. I wanted to use more than one site to highlight how his symptoms affected him. When I went to the Beyond Madness site and looked at OCD I was surprised at how many people were suspected of having OCD like Charles Darwin and Ludwig Van Beethoven. When you think of the systematic way in which Darwin organized his notes for the
Origin of Species
one can see that the skills needed for such specific a book would require a person who would be able to give a systematic outline for what they were observing. What I knew about Justin Timberlake prior to this assignment was limited to his work as a performer. He says that his OCD affects many parts of his daily life. OCD is made up of compulsions and obsessions. Both need not be present for a diagnosis to be reached. A person can have obsessions without compulsions. His obsessions include that everything around him be lined up. He also can only have specific foods in his fridge and of course, they must be in a specific place. This did cause problems with his girlfriend Jessica Alba when she moved in and had to work with Justin on this issue. Justin cites that he loves to perform and that in spite of his OCD and ADD he is still able to perform. There is something very stimulating about being on stage so that stimulation may be the boost he needs.It's helpful for persons with ADD not to be distracted by details but rather able to concentrate on their own activities. Justin's description does mirror muc.

The change that took place was Stakeholders were split in their views of the changes—some agreed that they were necessary in order to advance the goals of the organization, while others felt the new leadership was “taking over” with a hidden agenda to promote its own self-interest (Laufer, 2011). It seemed at first the Southeast Planning group was effective at the beginning. What lacked was the lack of confidence in growing the organization. A strategy that might improve the organizational climate return the organization to optimal functioning is for the director to have more confidence in the program. In addition having a leadership style that is more open to change and be able to communicate without feeling afraid of what is to come next. A leader must also pay attention to recruiting and retaining employees (Northouse,2021).

THE BELMONT REPORT
Office of the Secretary
Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human
Subjects of Research
The National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of
Biomedical and Behavioral Research
April 18, 1979
AGENCY: Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.
ACTION: Notice of Report for Public Comment.
SUMMARY: On July 12, 1974, the National Research Act (Pub. L. 93-348) was signed into law, there-by creating the
National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research. One of the
charges to the Commission was to identify the basic ethical principles that should underlie the conduct of biomedical
and behavioral research involving human subjects and to develop guidelines which should be followed to assure that
such research is conducted in accordance with those principles. In carrying out the above, the Commission was
directed to consider: (i) the boundaries between biomedical and behavioral research and the accepted and routine
practice of medicine, (ii) the role of assessment of risk-benefit criteria in the determination of the appropriateness of
research involving human subjects, (iii) appropriate guidelines for the selection of human subjects for participation in
such research and (iv) the nature and definition of informed consent in various research settings.
The Belmont Report attempts to summarize the basic ethical principles identified by the Commission in the course of
its deliberations. It is the outgrowth of an intensive four-day period of discussions that were held in February 1976 at
the Smithsonian Institution's Belmont Conference Center supplemented by the monthly deliberations of the
Commission that were held over a period of nearly four years. It is a statement of basic ethical principles and
guidelines that should assist in resolving the ethical problems that surround the conduct of research with human
subjects. By publishing the Report in the Federal Register, and providing reprints upon request, the Secretary intends
that it may be made readily available to scientists, members of Institutional Review Boards, and Federal employees.
The two-volume Appendix, containing the lengthy reports of experts and specialists who assisted the Commission in
fulfilling this part of its charge, is available as DHEW Publication No. (OS) 78-0013 and No. (OS) 78-0014, for sale by
the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
Unlike most other reports of the Commission, the Belmont Report does not make specific recommendations for
administrative action by the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. Rather, the Commission recommended that
the Belmont Report be adopted in its entirety, as a statement of the Department's policy. The Department requests
public comment on this recommendation.

The Benefits and Risks of Using Skype at Darcy’s .docxtodd541
The Benefits and Risks of
Using Skype at Darcy’s:
A Short Report
September 20, 2013
Prepared for:
Darcy’s Department Store
Prepared by:
Student Name
BUS105
2
Background
The East Coast buyers for Darcy’s Department Store are looking for an economical and
efficient way to share information about the deals buyers are getting from various
suppliers and use real-time transmission of that information between one another to
help save money.
There are a number of tools to do this, but Skype has been mentioned as a leading
contender. Skype claims to be an easy to use, online tool that allows users to connect
with any other Skype user around the world for free. A user can make video and voice
calls to other Skype users at no charge. Users can even share files among themselves,
which provides a great asset during a business meeting. However, when there are group
video calls, then Skype begins to charge a fee.
Also, for buyers throughout the East Coast, this tool can be useful if they need to talk
with one another. However, for meetings that require more than two attendees, Skype
is not a useful tool and is not intended to work that way for business.
Benefits
Among the most attractive benefits of Skype is that it is free and you can see the person
you are talking with. To purchase a software license for 20 buyers that is compatible to
what Skype can do will cost Darcy’s roughly $1,500 per month. There are no hidden
charges with Skype. According to Skype’s web page, users get video and voice calls to
other Skype users and “instant messaging and file sharing” all at no charge.
The video sharing feature of Skype will allow the buyers to see products in real time.
For example, if two buyers are looking at similar merchandise from two different
suppliers who are offering different pricing, then they can quickly Skype one another
and compare the product to see if it is the same and to then get the best pricing for it.
Two business writers for the Auburn Citizen in NY, state that there are business users
“who can save time and money in scheduling and holding conferences or training
sessions, demonstrate products or services for potential customers, and extend
customer service by showing customers how to get the most from your product” (Leon
and Leon).
Downsides
Despite the benefits mentioned above, there are clear downsides to this product. I
tested Skype over a one-week period by calling various Skype users throughout the East
Coast and tried to simulate a conversation that a buyer might have.
First, using Skype takes getting used to. During my five-day test, I never mastered the
connection stage. This is when one Skype user “calls” another Skype user. Skype makes
3
a distinctive sound that lets the user know it is making a call. However, once you
connect to whom you are calling, the picture shows, but it takes abo.

Dive into the world of AI! Experts Jon Hill and Tareq Monaur will guide you through AI's role in enhancing nonprofit websites and basic marketing strategies, making it easy to understand and apply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

What a comfort that would be!
They would take you in…and you could spend the night
(HOSPITALITY) and feed you…
..and they had herbs and salves to give you, if you were feeling
ill or had blisters.
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
In the 900’’s, another French abbey, at Cluny, was founded.
In the 1100’s, it was consecrated by the Pope and had become
very powerful.

In the following slide, you can see how all the IMPORTANT
MEN OF POWER were gathered around the consecration
(“blessing”) of this monastic complex.
Again: the Church is involved with culture, money, and power.

A) The Benedictines: INTRO
The original Church from the 1100’s was destroyed. Additional
parts were built up over centuries.
Here is a model of how the whole thing looked in medieval
times.
5. A MODEL of how Cluny looked in medieval times, view from
south. The semi-detached
building on the LEFT is narrower…and is the “ante-church,”
with Barabans towers. The
gold-ish white roof is the tower which survives today (south
transept tower). Sacred destinations.com
Here is a picture of the FLOOR of that narrow part on the
left…the ante-church…
…you can still see where the pillar columns remain, like broken
tree trunks.

A) The Benedictines: INTRO
Here is another close-up view of that south transept tower. It
was built in 1088 – 1130…
….so it was built even before the ante-church!
It is the only thing that remains of the original abbey.
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
Cluny became so powerful that it had hundreds of smaller
monasteries under its “administration” or “wing,” so to speak.
A WHOLE NETWORK OF MONKS AND NUNS!!!
These dependent monasteries were called “priories,” and they
spread across Europe!
7. Some people said that the abbot---or leader--- of Cluny was…
ALMOST (but not quite) as powerful as the Pope!
Some people said that the abbot of Cluny was ALMOST (but not

A) The Benedictines: INTRO
With power and hundreds of monasteries came a lot of
land…and a lot of corruption.
All of a sudden, monks didn’t have to be poor and focused on
God anymore.
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
They could have private two room suites including their own
bath and be focused on God!
So, like all long-lasting human institutions, the Benedictines
went through cycles of poverty, purity, corruption, and reform.
A) The Benedictines: INTRO
The Benedictines also played a large role in conserving texts,
8. and learning, during the chaos left by the Fall of Rome

A) The Benedictines: INTRO
About 70 years after the fall of Rome, one finds Benedict of
Nursia .
He was born around 480 ce and died about 547.
Supposedly, Benedict did miracles…
…like healing a monk when a wall fell on him.
Saint Benedict Restores a Monk to Life
Depiction by Lorenzo Monaco (crushed by a falling wall…see
the “devil” near the wall!)
10. Even with such miraculous gifts, though, it was hard to get
people to live together in harmony!
Things always rise up to pull a community apart.
In the following slide, you can see a little devil who is
beckoning and enticing one of the monks…
…away from the light of community, and out into the dark
isolation of temptation and confusion.
Lorenzo Monaco. (devil tries to tempt a monk away from the
community)
Some of his monks, for example, thought that Benedict was too
harsh.
They began to hate him SO MUCH…that they decided to poison
his wine.
Fortunately for both Benedict and monasticism, his wine cup
(“miraculously”) shattered…
…allowing the poisoned beverage to seep harmlessly into the
ground instead.
11. SAINT BENEDICT
Francisco de Zurbarán (Spanish,
Fuente de Cantos 1598–1664
Madrid)
Date: ca. 1640–45
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 74 x 40 3/4 in.
(188 x 103.5 cm
The Benedictines
What Benedict is best known for, however, is his Rule…
…the ground-rules for how to Live Together in Community and
Prayer…
while not going Crazy or becoming Corrupt.
Why is the formation of such a community based on Prayer
important?
Well, left to our own devices, we’d probably just forget to pray.
The community reminds us.
Why not just withdraw totally from our busy lives like the
Desert Fathers, then, so that we don’t get distracted?
12. The life of the hermit is difficult.
Most of us cannot handle such a life. We would dissipate into
vice or weird neurotic loneliness. It would be of no benefit to
us whatsoever.
The Benedictines
However in a community, we would receive necessary support
to live a balanced, prayerful life centered on God.
St. Benedict’s Rule gives us the framework for this community.
The Benedictines
Benedict described his Rule in terms of a (huge) keg of beer.
If you put the spigot really high up, only tall people would be
able to reach it.
But if you put the spigot right in the middle of the cask,
13. …it is readily accessible for everybody.
That is like saying that if you make it REALLY HARD to live
this holy life in your monastery…
…the normal person would have to leave!!! They wouldn’t be
able to make it!
It has to be…not too hard…not too easy…not too hot…not too
cold…
…the sort of monk’s life that most of us could handle.
Thus the Rule of St. Benedict took a previous rule, the Rule of
the Master (the original monastic rule)…
… and made it much more sensible and balanced for the
common person.
The Benedictines
For example, the Rule of the Master required penance if one
were even a few seconds late for prayer.
14. The Rule of St Benedict , however, counsels that the group
prayer start just a bit late and slowly,…
… so that those who ARE running those few seconds late have
time to slip in un-noticed.
The Benedictines
Prayer, by the way, was 8 times a day:
Matins or Vigils (before night ends, just at dawn) ,
Lauds (early morning, after dawn),
Prime (around 7 am),
Terce (around 9 am),
Sext )(around noon),
None (around 3) ,
Vespers (evening),
and Compline (around sunset).
15. http://christdesert.org/Detailed/27.html.
Prayer centered on the Psalms.
One would pray all 150 psalms once a week.
The Benedictines
One lived in the same location for one’s whole life (vow of
stability).
Therefore one got to know the patterns of the weather, the way
that the ground smelled in spring, and the types of birds that
visited the monastery.
The Benedictines
The motto was Ora et Labore or Work and Pray.
One would eat, sleep, pray, and work, all while living with
other human beings in community.
The Benedictines
16. The chief Benedictine virtue is humility, or self-knowledge.
Prayer-meditation helps one in achieving it…although it takes a
life-time.
Of course interacting with people helps one to achieve it also.
You are living with the same group of people, day in and day
out, week in and week out, year after year.
The Benedictines
Benedictine Churches emphasize an incarnational type of
spirituality. They are beautiful, indicating that beauty can lift
one’s heart up to God.
They may include some icons, or a beautiful pipe organ, or nice
architecture.
The Benedictines
Like any other group of people, however, the Benedictines
became corrupt.
After awhile their monasteries were huge and wealthy.
People began to see that it was no longer about poverty…. so
much as it was about the amassing of vast tracts of land and a
17. lot of wealth.
So a reform movement arose to “purify” the Benedictine way of
life.
The Benedictines
This reform movement occurred in the 1000’s.
The Cistercians opted for a more simple lifestyle, and a
sparser, less luxurious physical plant.
Eventually they also needed to be reformed…and the cycle
continued.

A. Catholic social teaching: introduction
Modern CST began in 1891, with Pope Leo XIII.
A. INTRO_CST
Pope Leo XIII
Wikipedia
Source: book on Pope Leo XIII
By Karl Benzinger
Pope Leo XIII wrote something called Rerum Novarum, because
19. he was worried about
“the misery and wretchedness pressing so unjustly on the
majority of the working class” (V, 221)
A. INTRO_CST
He thought it was important to set forth the “relative rights and
the mutual duties of the rich and poor” (V, 221)
Since Pope Leo XIII was the Pope, he was obviously (along
with the bishops) part of the magisterium, or “official teaching
body” of the Church.
This means that his words have “some authoritative claim” on
you, if you are Roman Catholic. (V, 223)
A. INTRO_CST
However since the 1950’s and the pontificate of Pope John
XXIII,
Catholic social teaching has also been addressed to “all people
of good will.” (v, 223)
20. B. The Common Good
One part of CST (Catholic Social Teaching)
Catholic social teaching’s definition of the common good has
developed over the last several decades.
It originally stemmed from an understanding of the human good,
taken from the Greek polis.
In ancient Greece, according to Aristotle, the “good of each
individual was inseparably linked to the quality of the common
good of the society in which they lived” (V, 224)
21. Since Catholics took their understanding of the common good
from the Greek tradition, the Catholic Catechism also states that
‘the good of each individual is necessarily related to the
common good” (1905).
And the Vatican II document Gaudium et Spes states that the
common good means: “the sum total of social conditions which
allow people, either as groups or as individuals, to reach their
fulfillment more fully and easily.” (Hart, 21-2).
For example: how good would your life be if:
You had no way to get a good education
You couldn’t go to a hospital when you were sick
You couldn’t see art, or read literature, or listen to music
The economy was so bad that you couldn’t get any job at all (V,
225)
Both the ancient Greeks and the Catholic Church are saying
something about who human beings are.
22. They both say that we “are social creatures who can develop to
[our]…full potential and achieve a deeply satisfying, good life
only when…[we]…participate actively in the life of a good
society” (V, 225)
In a word, “The common good concerns the life of all,”
(GS26.1; 1906 Catechism; Hart, 22).
Therefore it is “the responsibility of everyone in a community
to build up the common good” (V, 225)
Pope John XXIII said that thinking of the common good of a
nation was not enough; some goods cannot be achieved by the
actions of one nation alone.
Instead we have to think of the GLOBAL common good (V,
226)
23. The US Bishops agreed:
“Some of the gravest environmental problems” (for example)…
“are clearly global. In this shrinking world, everyone is
affected and everyone is responsible” (V, 226)
The same is true for non-environmental issues such as
immigration, or population growth, or the stock market/global
economies.
You should do things in a way which “will benefit the greatest
number.” (#2405)
This is true on the international, national AND individual level.
The stuff in your house…the stuff which you worked for, paid
for, and moved into your house for you and your family?
You should enjoy that stuff “with moderation, reserving the
better part for guests, for the sick and the poor.” (#2405)
24. So if the government were to say that it is “best for the common
good of society” if your house was leveled so that a freeway or
hospital could be built instead…
…the Church would agree (as long as it really WAS best for the
common good).
“Political authority has the right and duty to regulate the
legitimate exercise of the right to ownership for the sake of the
common good.” (#637)
