| | Benedictine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Benedictines are usually members of the Roman Catholic Church or one of the churches of the Anglican Communion, although they are occasionally found in other Christian religious denominations as well. | | | Such a person may live the Consecrated Life (that is, as a monk or nun according to Church Law) or not (for example, as an oblate). | | | A Benedictine is a person who follows the Rule of St Benedict. |

| | Anselm's Church was for many years the church of a community of Benedictine Monks. | | | Benedictine communities in Europe played an invaluable part in keeping alive the light of Christian faith, and with it western civilization, during the Dark Ages from about A.D. 600 to 1100. | | | Saint Anselm, after whom the parish church in Tokyo is named, was a Benedictine monk, and also Archbishop of Canterbury in the eleventh century. |

| | BENEDICTINES - LoveToKnow Article on BENEDICTINES |
| | During this century the Benedictine houses in many parts of Catholic Europe united themselves into congregations, usually characterized by an austerity that was due to the Tridentine reform movement. | | | These movements issued in the congregational system which is the present polity among Benedictines, In the German lands, where the most typical congregation was the Bursfeld Union (1446), which finally embraced over 100 monasteries throughout Germany, the system was kept on the lines of the Lateran decree and the bull Benedictina. | | | The Reformation and the religious wars spread havoc among the Benedictines in many parts of northern Europe; and as a consequence, in part of the rule of Joseph II. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Benedictine Order |
| | The Benedictines have numbered kings and emperors and many distinguished persons amongst their confratres, and there is hardly a monastery of the present day which has not some lay people connected with it by this spiritual bond of union. | | | This was originally founded in 1687 as a college for Benedictines of the Cassinese congregation, but later on monks of other congregations were also admitted. | | | Not long after their departure, Aygulph, Abbot of Fleury, was called in to restore the discipline and he probably introduced the full Benedictine observance; for when St. Benedict Biscop visited Lérins later on in the seventh century he received the Benedictine habit and tonsure from the hands of Abbot Aygulph. |

| | The Rule of St. Benedict |
| | The roots of Benedictine spirituality are contained in this slim volume, as are guidelines for happiness and holiness (arguably identical states in the Christian tradition) which are as meaningful today as they were 1500 years ago. | | | For Benedictines, the vow of stability proclaims rootedness, at-homeness, that this place and this monastic family will endure. | | | The author, with characteristic self-effacement, called it "a little rule for beginners." Written in the sixth century for a collection of serfs, scholars, shepherds, and wealthy scions of nobility—a motley group of would-be monastics, the Rule of St. Benedict survives today as a masterpiece of spiritual wisdom. |
